Most drivers don’t want Biden’s electric vehicle mandate

President Joe Biden is working on two regulations that would make it next to impossible for people to buy a combustion-engine car by 2032.
A firm majority of the country opposes these policies, and that opposition is growing.

According to a Pew Research Center poll released last week, almost 60% oppose “phasing out the production of new gasoline cars and trucks by 2035.” Opposition has grown by 7 percentage points in just two years.
Biden’s policy would force automakers to ensure that 67% of all new vehicles sold were electric vehicles by 2032.
Pew did not mention it to respondents, but there is simply no way automakers will be able to obtain all the necessary rare earth minerals needed to produce that many electric vehicles in less than a decade. Neither will automakers be able to install the charging station capacity to keep that many electric vehicles running.
If the Biden-proposed regulations do become law, the cost of both electric vehicles and combustion-engine cars will skyrocket. The cost of electric vehicles will go up as the rare earth minerals needed for their batteries rises as supply dwindles. The cost of combustion engine cars will rise because automakers won’t be allowed to manufacture enough to meet demand. It will be a completely government-created disaster.

Under current law, there is very little Congress can do to stop Biden’s costly electric vehicle mandates from being implemented. Only a new president would have the authority to reverse Biden’s new regulations.
It is not an understatement to say that the 2024 election will determine whether or not the working class can buy a car in 2032.
