Car makers now lobbying for Trump administration to maintain Biden's EV beliefs

There are multiple ways the nation could get relief from the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris extremism of electric vehicles.

The Democrat regime in Washington has insisted on destroying what it can of America's fossil fuels industry and instead pushes consumers to rely on electricity for everything, despite the fact Americans simply don't want and don't trust electric vehicles – and the nation's grid never could support widespread demand those cars would impose.

Experts recently told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump could make one change that would negate Biden's work: To determine that regulatory agencies do not have the legal authority to push the electrification of vehicles.

"The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could decide that the EPA has no authority under the Clean Air Act to mandate – to force – the electrification of the U.S. automobile fleet," Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the DCNF.

The EVs come with their problems for consumers: Heavy vehicles that can be dangerous in minor crashes, intense fires from burning batteries when accidents happen, poor travel range, especially in cold weather, and stupendous battery replacement costs after a few years.

But now a report in the Washington Examiner confirms that automobile companies are "revving up" to ask the Trump administration to hang on to Biden's rules and regulations.

"According to a report from the New York Times, the Biden administration's actions to boost domestic EV manufacturing may have already set the auto industry past the point of no return," the report said. "Following Biden's initiatives, automakers have already invested billions of dollars in transitioning to electric vehicles. If Trump were to scrap the initiative, major automakers fear they could be undercut by smaller manufacturers producing cheaper, internal combustion engine cars."

So, the report said, "Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis are lobbying to keep the mandates."
