President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to ease its push to force electric vehicles onto American consumers as consumer demand for the vehicles remains low, dealerships have expressed serious concerns, and automakers have had to cut production and revamp production of gas vehicles.
The New York Times reported that the move was a “concession to automakers and labor unions” from the administration as it was forcing “limits on tailpipe emissions” to force Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to more expensive electric vehicles — which often have performance issues in adverse weather conditions. The serious lack of charging stations, and the time it takes to recharge electric vehicles, are among other top complaints from consumers.
“Instead of essentially requiring automakers to rapidly ramp up sales of electric vehicles over the next few years, the administration would give car manufacturers more time, with a sharp increase in sales not required until after 2030,” the report said, noting that the change will likely be officially rolled out in the next few months.
Former President Donald Trump has slammed Biden’s “ridiculous all Electric Car Hoax,” saying that communists in the Biden administration were the ones who were behind Biden’s green agenda. “Within 3 years, all of these cars will be made in China,” Trump added
In a separate post, Trump said that Michigan would lose the auto industry if Biden’s “crazed concept of ‘all Electric Cars’ goes into effect.”
Trump said that if Biden’s mandate continues to that the auto industry in the U.S. will “cease to exist” with China taking over all manufacturing of electric vehicles.
“Vote for TRUMP, and I will stop this Madness, IMMEDIATELY!” he said. “Mexico & Canada LOVE Biden’s idiotic policy. SAVE MICHIGAN and the other Auto States. SAVE THE AMERICAN CONSUMER!!!”
Not enough “former-smokers” of Motorism out there turning their noses up at the dirty, polluting fossil fuel motorists filling the air with second-hand car exhaust.
He also cut a deal with Mexico to slow down the invasion until October. Backing off the EV mandate is the same BS, it comes back after the “election”.
Electric motors generate ozone.
That’s the electricity odor you smell when you get near one running.
That is a pollutant.
So we exchange one pollutant for another..........
We just can’t get away from pollution until we all learn to stop breathing.
Joe is not going to back down. They are just getting quiet about it. Like their ministry of disinformation campaign.
Aka, few want to pay big $$$ for EVs with short range and staggering battery replacement costs. And Deep State Joe drives a gas powered Corvette!

If the administration is reading the writing on the EV wall, they should be backing away from throwing money away on a national charging system....but they won’t.If EVs were the profit centers of the future for the auto industry, which they are not, the industry would be building a national system itself, which they are not
And it might have bankrupted the US automakers. We shall see. Time for another GM bailout?
Ya, Biden and elitists who like EVs don’t have to worry about getting to work. They don’t live like average Americans... in the real world.
EVs are a hobby for the elitists. Plus it makes them feel good about themselves.
Yeah Joey boy no one wants them.
I’m on schedule to lease a new F-150, all-ICE, vehicle next month.
Two more years of living large like in the good ol’ daze....
