    The Trump energy policies have become a lose–lose situation for US automakers and green energy. Ford is not only scaling back its EV plans but also taking a $19.5-billion profit hit resulting from Trump oil-first policies.

    Ford will now concentrate on hybrid vehicles and gasoline-engine extended-range electric vehicles instead of full battery electric vehicles.
