Three of the nation’s largest automakers, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, are strategizing with other car manufacturers on how to make a delicate request of President-elect Donald J. Trump: Don’t scrap the federal regulations that compel the industry to sell electric vehicles.
Mr. Trump has railed against the E.V.
rules, which strictly limit the amount of tailpipe pollution while also ramping up fuel economy standards.
Mr. Trump sees them differently.
And Mr. Trump still holds grievances against some of the automakers, whom he views as having betrayed him because during his first term they supported Obama-era auto emissions rules.
