Republicans and Democrats clash over Biden's electric vehicle promotion

In Toledo, Ohio, Donald Trump criticized Biden's plan to promote electric cars, saying it would harm states that make cars. Some in the oil industry spent a lot on ads saying Biden's tax credit for electric car buyers would take away people's freedom. People like Jim Cagle, a retired Jeep worker, worry about how they would charge electric cars. Many people from different political views doubt electric cars and don't like Biden's tax credits. A group from the oil industry spent $16 million on ads against Biden's plan for electric cars, with $1.5 million in Ohio criticizing Brown for supporting it. Brown voted for a law to fight climate change by giving a $7,500 tax credit for new electric car sales, aiming to make electric cars 50% of new car sales by 2030. Some think Brown doesn't need to worry about Democrats and disagreeing with them could help him. Before Trump visited Ohio and criticized electric cars, Whitmer said it's important for the U.S. to innovate in electric cars to not let Chinese companies take over. Biden's campaign wants to bring electric car jobs back to the U.S. from China. Some groups are spending money to support Biden's climate goals, including promoting electric cars in battleground states.
