t didn’t take the “Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers” long to cobble together a lobbying request for President-elect Donald Trump to roll-back emission mandates and “alternative powertrains” (think plug-in electric vehicles) requirements. Just ~48 hours after Hillary Clinton ceded the election to Trump, the group has put together a eight page letter (PDF here) for the new administration to consider. . . .

Glad to see Nissan absent from that particular coalition, for whatever reason.

Manufacturers like GM and BMW seem to be building EVs because they think they need to, though it appears they'd rather not have to.

Kudos to Tesla for building EVs that create desire!
