Biden-Harris EV mandate faces uncertain fate in the Senate
Story by Casey Harper • 15h •


(The Center Square) – The U.S. House passed a measure on Friday to overturn the Biden-Harris administration’s controversial electric vehicle mandate, but it now faces an uncertain fate in the Senate.

The mandate in question was put forward by the Environmental Protection Agency, which as The Center Square previously reported would require that fully electric vehicles make up two thirds of all new "light duty" and 46% of new medium-duty vehicle sales in the U.S. by 2032.
 
Put plainly, most vehicles that Americans buy would need to be entirely electric in just a few years. As of now, electric vehicles are about 7% of new vehicle sales, meaning the EPA is requiring nearly a tenfold increase to that figure in less than a decade.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If it weren't so close to the election, the mandate would already be approved. *****rollingeyes*****

Democrats are in favor of abolishing gas cars. 190 House Democrats voted FOR the ban.
