The results would be catastrophic for the American consumer:
- Cars and trucks will become less affordable: At the end of 2022, electric vehicles were on average $11,981 more expensive than gas-powered cars.
- No more summer road trips: The average range of EVs is 170 miles shorter than the average range of a gas powered car, making long-distance traveling harder.
- Power shortages: States across the country face power outages due to an outdated power grid infrastructure. Biden’s regulation would put tremendous strain on an already overburdened electrical grid by increasing the need for changing stations and an increased likelihood for blackouts.
- More jobs move overseas: The lithium and other rare earth metals needed for EV batteries are primarily sourced from China, our most dangerous political rival. Additionally, 56% or more of EV car batteries are produced by just six Communist Chinese Corporations. And China as a while makes 80% of all EV batteries.
Vehicles are a fact of life for hundreds of millions of Americans. 91.7% of households own at least one vehicle. Biden should not be playing fast and loose with our ability to choose what products are best for us.
