Joe Biden has recently proposed a set of rules that, if adopted, would drastically reduce Americans’ freedom of choice when it comes to buying cars. His radical effort to force people into buying electric vehicles (EVs) goes against the spirit of the free Republic that we were born to be, and it’s clearly designed to benefit his foreign allies.
The Biden administration claims that these rules could result in the electrification of 67% of new sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks; 50% of new vocational vehicles (such as buses and garbage trucks); 35% of new short-haul freight tractors; and 25% of new long-haul freight tractors by 2032. However, this is likely just an attempt to push a “clear pathway for a continued rise in EV sales.”

The power grids are already strained around the country, and this massive increase in electric vehicles would strain them even more. Plus, this would likely make gas vehicles more expensive when Biden has already cost Americans so much.
Biden’s latest gaffe has the Republican Party shaking their heads and wondering what the former Vice President is thinking. During his fourth virtual leader–level meeting of the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate, Biden was caught on a hot mic complaining about being “left standing out there waiting” in the hallway.
The gaffe was only the latest in a long line of issues that the Republican Party has had with Biden’s policies.
Myron Ebell of the Competitive Enterprise Institute‘s Center for Energy and Environment criticized the Biden administration, saying, “The Biden administration is trying to bend every federal rule they can find to force people into buying EVs.” He added, “If Biden policies are successful, we will soon have a choice between buying an EV and not being able to afford a vehicle at all.”
