One day we hear car manufacturers are done with EVs because the do not sell. The next day Joe pulls a “RULE” out his butt and gas powered vehicles are over.
I am so sick of this nonsense. I hate these people. They need to be gone. If they were gone we would have a happier world.
The question arises that while the Federal government is given the regulation of interstate commerce, enforcement of this rule will be difficult if the Feds and the automakers ram electric vehicles down dealers' throats and they go out of business due to lack of sales. Such an action will make selling these vehicles very difficult, unless the automakers use the Tesla model and sell directly. A phase out of gasoline and diesel powered vehicles will drive up the prices of used cars. You could wind up with a Cuba style situation, where antique cars are kept alive. There are limits to this situation, as Cubans are dealing with 1950s vehicles, with no electronics or computer software.
If Trump is able to become President, he will immediately drop these rules, pushing their re-imposition back to 2029 at the earliest. Automakers will be unlikely to go forward with converting to increased electrical vehicles until the outcome of this year's election is decided.
