The real source of the move to EVs is CAFE. Obama changed the CAFE requirements to the point of 54.5 MPG were required by 2025, and the car manufacturers knew this more than 10 years ago. The Trump Admin. changed the CAFE requirements back to 37 MPG which the car manufacturers stated was doable. Biden took office in January 2021 and reverted to the Obama CAFE 54.5 MPG requirements. The entire move to EVs is being financed through taxpayer funding.

The assertion that EVs are less harmful to the environment is false. Most of the pitfalls of moving to EVs has already been discussed on this board as well as many others. The reality is that the car manufacturers have invested over $525 billion to move to EVs and most have no intention of changing course back to ICE powered vehicles.

Elections have consequences - federal, state and local.
