I don't like Trump either. But as others here have said he didn't say this. That's a quote from the article the quote from him says "You won't be able to sell those cars" not "I'll ban all electric car sales"
-
Why are people downvoting this? Trump is a literal poison, but misinformation is misinformation. The author changed the meaning: "You won't be able to sell those cars, because they won't have EV incentives" NOT "because I'll ban them."

Trump: "Won't someone rid me of these meddlesome electric vehicles?!"
Media: "Trump calls for elimination of electric vehicles."
Terminally Online Guy: "Um, aktuly, its ephebophilia".

What's the difference?

The order of the words
-
One implies he will personally forbid them from selling.
The other implies no one will want to buy them because they'll be too expensive by their nature.

no one will want to buy them because they’ll be too expensive
China makes cheap electric vehicles. Why can't American shoppers buy them?
Its almost as though the import price of the vehicle is a consequence of US trade policy.

I was not saying he is correct, saying that was his likely meaning in this context. He's not exactly got a great track record of being smart or correct. Just in this case he didn't seem to mean a ban outright.
-
He explicitly called for a ban of EV imports from Mexico. What's more outright than that?
