That is already the case with some of Trump's followers and the stupid childish phenomenon of "rolling coal". It has a wikipedia article. Basically it means modifying a vehicle's engine so that it is more inefficient and spews out choking black smoke, as a symbolic FU to the liberals and environmental protection. At a psychological level, I think it is also something to do with this somehow seeming more macho and masculine (just like how some modify their vehicles to be deliberately noisy) as opposed to the sissy clean quiet electric vehicles. It plays to the streak of anti-intellectualism running in the United States.
American businesses aside from the oil industry don't want Trump's anti-environment actions as they know that lower standards will mean their vehicles and products will not be sellable elsewhere in the world, but it's become as much an issue of culture war against the liberals and also sinophobia. I've seen some conspiracy theories out there trying to claim climate change is a Chinese seeded conspiracy and that the whole electric vehicle and battery industry is a giant Chinese scam.
