Re “Trump Seen as a Threat to E.V. Sales” (Business, Nov. 26):
It is ironic that President-elect Donald Trump, who claims he will make America great again, wants to kill offshore wind and electric cars. Those are industries of the future that China has grabbed with both hands.
President Biden tried hard to get American industry back into the green transition by promoting domestically built green energy and electric cars. Mr. Trump apparently wants to turn it all over to China.
The green transition will happen regardless of what Mr. Trump thinks. The only question is whether American industry participates or we buy everything from China.

Re “Big Auto’s Plea to Trump: Force Us to Sell E.V.s” (front page, Nov. 22):
When viewed beside Donald Trump’s fury at the chief executive of General Motors, Mary Barra, for agreeing with Joe Biden’s vision to “own the 21st-century car market again” with electric vehicles, auto industry pleas to keep green goals, to guard them from competition and wasted investments, seem as close as we come here to altruistic motives.
With the specter of parched, smoking forests and cyclic floods becoming the norm, is it too much here to ask leaders of Wall Street or Washington even to cite — much less evince — any true concern for the world their own children must call home?

Re “If E.V. Rebates End, Newsom Says California Will Step Up” (Business, Nov. 26):
Even if President-elect Donald Trump eliminates federal subsidies for electric cars, used electric cars coming back from lease are very affordable. I saved $26,000 buying a Ford Mustang Mach-E with a long-range battery with just over 7,000 miles in virtually new condition. This is the car of the future … I would never go back.
