It has been shown [Maccio, Phys. Plasmas 8, 895 (2001)] that a uniform radial electric field can stabilize the toroidal ion temperature gradient mode in tokamak plasmas. In this paper, using the ballooning transform, the mechanism leading to stabilization is further clarified. However, the stabilizing effect depends on the choice of the background distribution function. It is shown that if the electric field is connected with a toroidal plasma rotation the stabilizing effect becomes ineffective. Consequently, in many current experiments this effect should not play a role.
