Phil Kerpen: “The Biden administration’s infatuation with electric vehicles is no secret, with billions in subsidies lavished on them in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act and now direct bribes to vehicle manufacturers to shift their production. But the president’s so-called “transition” is not being driven only by massive subsidies, but by draconian mandates that will make gasoline-powered vehicles difficult to find and exorbitantly priced far sooner than most Americans expect….Biden’s goal is laid out plainly on the Green New Deal page of JoeBiden.com, which commits to “developing rigorous new fuel economy standards aimed at ensuring 100% of new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified” and was formalized in Biden Executive Order 14037, which sets “a goal that 50 percent of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles.”….This policy is contrary to law. Specifically, 49 U.S.C. § 32902(h)(1), which states NHTSA “may not consider the fuel economy of dedicated automobiles,” defined as “an automobile that operates only on alternative fuel.” This is precisely what the Biden rules do.”
