Here this week, President Trump suspended a program to expand the country's network of electric vehicle chargers.

It's his latest in a series of efforts to undo Biden-era policies encouraging EV adoption.

But in some parts of the country, EVs and other low-carbon technologies are becoming more popular, not because of government policies, but because they make economic sense.

That's what I found when I recently visited Utah, a politically red state where some residents are going green.

It's usually really beautiful this time of year.

Rob Sorensen is a father of four and a self-described middle-of-the-road conservative.

I would describe myself as leaning more on the conservative side,

but very nuanced as well.

Born and raised in Utah, he's worked in insurance here for more than two decades.

But you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a professional fiddle player.

That's not the only thing about him that's surprising.

Despite his conservative politics, he's become a fan of electric vehicles or EVs,

which studies show tend to be more popular with left-leaning consumers.

We never, in a million years, thought that an EV car would be something we would own.

Just because every time we would look at an electric car, it just seemed so expensive.

But that all changed the day he found a fully electric Chevy Bolt for the right price.

And we ended up picking the car up for $10,000 with 15,000 miles on it.

I was blown away.

The cost made an EV far more attractive, but it wasn't just about the price.

An added bonus, it's much easier on the environment, and Utah already has some of the nation's

worst air quality.

Our family is very into outdoor activities, hiking, biking and different things like that.
