It is hardly surprising given these facts:
1. US is the largest oil producer country in the world
2. US knows it has lost the EV race
3. ICE employees have an outsized impact on elections due to where they live

anecdotally i had a 2011 Nissan Leaf 1st year it came out. Was neat. I have not gone back to electric. I sold it for $800 with 90k miles on it.

Perhaps you're confusing oil production with refined petroleum (e.g. gasoline) exports?
Edit: Thanks for the correction, looks like for the last 8 or so years US has indeed occupied the top slot for production:
I think it's not unreasonable to think that "producer" means "producer", not "exporter". Wikipedia has a nominally matching article [0], which indeed lists the US as the largest producer of crude oil and lease condensate.

The parent commenter is right. You are wrong. Do a little Google search before commenting.
Can avoid the hostility.
Plus, there’s a question if pure EVs are the best, perhaps EREVs might be better.
