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.

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.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

2032 America will be like modern Cuba ... people will driving around in 20+ year old vehicles that they pass down through the generations.
