SEMA was one of them The loudest Supporters of former President Joe Biden’s decision to effectively cancel the mission of electric vehicles (EVs).
“On the first day of his new administration, President Trump declared that he would revive the freedom of the nation and set national policy on the authority of the United States rather than the so-called state of California,” Spagnola said.
The SEMA letter revealed that it would regain employment in the United States in favour of the president’s use of tariffs, but warned that the transition period would be difficult, especially due to the small business that lacked capital reserves or quantitative pricing powers of the multinational giant.
“For many of the specialized automotive businesses that manufacture products in the United States, they are forced to source components used in their products from domestic suppliers because they don’t have domestic manufacturers or produce small quantities of components that meet their needs.” “For companies in this position, they have no choice but to source components from overseas.”

Rather than back down, they are seeking temporary, targeted relief.
“Our main requirement is that American auto parts manufacturers, including members, will be provided with a transition period to re-land the manufacturing industry and some form of economic relief to support that transition,” Spagnola said. “That relief includes tariff exemptions for mold, tools, machines, etc., and tax incentives to offset related costs.”
SEMA stresses that they believe in Trump’s vision and want to be the forefront of making it a reality, and that “we need a bridge to help with the transition.”
