Regarding electric vehicles, President Joe Biden cannot simply use his bully pulpit to preach EVs’ virtues. Gift-wrapping them in lavish taxpayer-funded subsidies is not enough for Biden, either.
So, this dictator rules by fiat. Rather than ask Congress to enact a pro-EV law, Emperor Biden issued a decree on Wednesday, via the Environmental Protection Agency.
By 2030, 54% of new passenger vehicles must be electric. Just two years later, that mandate would grow by more than one-fifth, until 67% of new cars and light trucks are electric in 2032.

They will not be able to fix stupid.
I don’t like being dragged down by these a-holes.
Sounds like a Law to me.
Executive branch does not create, deliberate or pass Laws. Bidens memory is failing or he failed highschool civics class.
They’re also. Bribing Ford, GM, Xhrisler (or whatever they’re called) to go along and get rich while China and Japan laugh at us.
Biden’s announcement was nicely timed to benefit China:
16 April: BigNewsNetwork: Global luxury carmakers bet on China’s NEV market
by Xinhua
Global luxury carmakers attending the third China International Consumer Products Expo have set their sights on the world’s largest new energy vehicle (NEV) market.
Volkswagen brought its luxury brands, including Porsche, Bentley, and Lamborghini, to the expo held in Haikou, the capital of south China’s Hainan Province, from Monday to Saturday.
Porsche showed its purely electric car model Taycan 4S, and Bentley exhibited a plug-in hybrid. Meanwhile, Britain’s Lotus showcased a fully electric SUV.
China’s NEV market has seen booming development over the past few years, luring more carmakers to vie for a piece of the market...
Young customers particularly love the all-electric models, said Sheng Tantzscher, vice president and chief financial officer of Porsche China...
Hainan has announced a plan to phase out the sales of traditional oil-fueled vehicles throughout the province by 2030.

14 April: Global Times China: Tesla sets up new-energy unit in Shanghai amid rapid expansion in Chinese market
The move comes just days after Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk announced on Sunday that the firm would build a new factory in Shanghai to make large-scale batteries.
“Our next Megafactory will be in Shanghai, [China] - capable of producing [10,000] Megapacks per year,” Tesla said in a Tweet on Monday, which also included a picture of a signing ceremony in Shanghai...
It was unclear whether the new unit set up on Thursday was related to the construction of the new Megapack factory in Shanghai, but the firm is on a rapid expansion in the Chinese market on the heels of huge success of its Gigafactory in Shanghai, the largest outside the US which had an output of 710,000 vehicles in 2022... https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202304/1289157.shtml
Imagine everybody driving an EV during the future blackouts and brownouts an all dead industries because of lack of energy and huge unemployment. Social upheaval will be uncontrollable and there will be hell on earth. Can’t think of another scenario. It would have been better if Biden had never been born.
But making orders for us poor peons out in the hinterland, well that requires the legislative process as outlined in the constitution. But, seeing how we really live in the Twilight Zone, as opposed to the United States of America, what the hell do I know?
That's why even though my father worked for GM and my grandfather worked for Ford I will never ever buy a car from either of them. They sold out America, and no longer represent American industry.

These things are a disaster. If Tesla weren’t making the cheap versions in China it wouldn’t be selling what it does.

Drive through Atlanta. Most of the EV drivers/owners are liberal hipsters living in apartments.
Congress can smack down an EO. Maybe they forgot that.
Apparently all the Senate and Congress have lost their minds.
they did it here, too. then they built a $50 mil HEATED garage cuz they wouldn’t start in the cold.
EVs are just an excuse for the bigger issue that democrats are pushing, which is climate-change/global warming. But, climate-change/global-warming is just a big excuse for their real agenda, which is CONTROL. It’s about CONTROL of the economy, which means control of the people.
Everything leads to control, including woke policies and CRT and LGBTQ+ issues and crime issues. Everything democrats are doing to the country, is all about complete control, and complete control means communism, where communism takes away all of our freedoms and choices.
CONTROL. It’s the ultimate agenda item.
EVs, climate-change/global warming, CRT, wokeism, crime, racism, all kinds of discrimination issues...
all of them (and more)....
are just tools that democrats use to try to achieve their ultimate goal of control.
We are not paying attention to the forest because we’re too busy focusing on the individual trees.
How about electric tanks?
