Biden Admin. Wants Rules to Push Electric Car Sales to 10X Current Levels
Breitbart ^ | 04/09/2023 | Alana Mastrangelo

Posted on 04/09/2023 10:12:32 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Biden administration is reportedly planning to propose some of the most stringent automobile pollution rules in the world, which are meant to drive up sales of electric vehicles to ten times their current level so that up to 67 percent of new cars sold in the U.S. are electric vehicles by 2032.

The proposed limits on tailpipe emissions will be brought by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with EPA administrator Michael Regan making the announcement on Wednesday in Detroit, Michigan, according to people familiar with the situation who spoke to the New York Times.

They’ll make emission standards so impossible to meet that ICE vehicles will never pass an inspection. You’ll have to choose between an EV or a bicycle.

Hey Demento! Could you buy all of us one of your new electric sh*t machines? They’re too expensive for us to buy. We need our money to buy food.

A bicycle has a longer range than some EVs without the charging anxiety. A couple on a tandem can probably do 225 miles a day of they know how to ride it and have an aero fairing.

They can see there is no actual “surge in EV sales”. So they will regulate ICE vehicles out of existence. The car makers will not put up a fight

World materials supply chains needed for EV production cannot and will not support EVS as 67% of vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2032. It is a political mandate with no industrial production and engineering plan design behind it - just a mandate, period. A second term Biden would try to turn the U.S. into a Soviet style totally centrally planned economy, trying to reach that goal, and like the Soviets he would fail, and permanently damage the U.S. economy at the same time.

I own an electric car and I love it. Having said that, the problem is even though they can build Chargers all over hell there’s not going to be enough electricity in 10 to 20 years. Prices for electricity will skyrocket.

Just what we need, the government what we can and can’t drive. Interesting that FJB wants to increase sales by ten fold. I’ll need a ten fold increase in my income to afford one.

And we’re the fascists . . .

>Prices for electricity will skyrocket.

Hussein agrees.

“Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket...”

I own and EV too. I believe free market is the answer. Free market! Free market! Both for car types and for energy sources. Get out of the way of drilling and refining oil. Get out of the way of mining and processing rare earths.

True that on there wouldn't be enough power for everybody to have an EV. Heck, there might not be enough power even if only a few people get an EV (the few who want one). Because the Dims are restricting power production as much as they can.

Well the Dims can sit on it, cuz my wife and I installed a bunch of solar for our all-electric home. Solar and EV's don't work well everywhere, but they work well here in Sweet Home Alabama. I probably wouldn't have bought an EV if it wasn't part of a larger plan to make us as energy independent as possible. We're growing larger gardens to try to be a little more independent with our food too. So far we haven't been so lucky. LOL We probably wouldn't starve, though, if kudzu is edible. LOL
