Electric Vehicle Revolution DELAYED What's Going On?

  • Breaking news: House Democrats and Republicans have voted to delay electric vehicle mandate. But this is far from the end of the mandated but bi-partisan support is a great start.
    The U.S. House of Representatives on September 20th voted to overturn a Biden administration rule that sets tougher emissions standards for car manufacturers.
    The joint resolution passed in a 215 to 191 vote (with 8 Democrats in support and one Republican in opposition) which would nullify the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new restrictions on emissions from cars, light trucks, pick-ups, and vans for model years 2027 to 2032.
    Although the rule does not explicitly impose an electric vehicle (EV) mandate, it is expected to force manufacturers to electrify their fleets in order to comply.
    The passage of H.J. Res. 136 would also artificially constrain consumer vehicle choice, weaken U.S. manufacturing and energy security, and harm public health.
    You need to make the choice on what you drive - NOT politicians.

      It is free market and consumer choice. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything. Part of the problem is that EVs are in their infancy and many would be customers can't afford them at the current prices. Old habits also die hard so that no matter what advantages exist, consumers are used to their polluting gas guzzler ICE models and this is going to be the case until a new generation decides otherwise. Change is difficult both from the production side to consumer sales.

Is there no cost to those job losses. The smog has been substantially reduced for 25 years yet the government continues with the mandates. When does it end? If the experts in the 70's/80's demanded changes by government mandate and they were implemented and the experts now say, there are a never-ending stream of new mandates it appears that government mandates are a business unto itself. Where was the cost-benefit in the 70's/80'/90's/2000's? There are none. The same is true for automobile deaths.

    Nice to see this occur. EV's just don't seem to make much sense to me as a mandate. They have their niche in the vehicle mix but are not a solution to the overall automotive/environmental mix. I've always seen them as great for shorter trips, but not longer drives. Hybrids seem to be a better balance between the two.
    As an aside its nice to see the House (and hopefully the Senate) making a decision. Its the Congress' responsibility to make these decisions (the president has a veto that can be overridden by Congress) per the USA Constitution. The president, whoever that may be, should not be pushed to issue Executive Orders or regulatory mandates through the various agencies to get something decided (or force the Congress to make a decision on an issue either way).

    Without Gov intervention the auto industry was shifting to electric vehicles on its own. Wealthy people were buying expensive EV's and the technology was developing rapidly. Hybrid vehicles were selling well as they are more affordable than fully electric. As technology develops the products always become less expensive and more refined. If Gov would just stay out and not interfere the auto industry would progress all by itself. I recently bought my first hybrid car because I was financially ready and I felt that the quality of the hybrid vehicles was at a level that I would appreciate. I was correct and I am happy with my new Toyota Venza. I didn't need the Nanny State to tell me when I should buy a hybrid vehicle. In the future if I see that fully electric vehicles are up to my standards and I can afford one I will buy one without pressure from the Gov.

    The only reason it is delayed is the Legacy Auto makers can't build a EV at a profit yet so the Government is trying to protect the Auto Industry by giving them more time and if this is not correct then WHY did the Government put such high Tariffs on Chinese cars. Are they running scared ? ? ?

    It is understandable if a president makes a border policy or does something on tariffs; however it is highly questionable if he can can impact an entire industry, it's workers, suppliers, and possibly the economy. That's Congressional matter; Not to mention it but the new president is opposed to EVs even though he is buddies with Tesla maker Elon Musk. Jenny

      Car dealers are pushing hybrids because they need scheduled maintenance. And more repairs in general than a BEV. Most legacy car makers have not figured out that when they build an electric car efficiency counts. Nobody wants their warmed over ICE cars they call electric.

    EVs are the most elegantly simple (drive train parts count 30:2000), safe (highest ever NCAP, fire ratio 1:60), environmentally friendly (by a huge margin) and economical (70,000km = 0 maintenance cost) engineering solution for humanities locomotve needs. Best of all, as with ICE Chariots of Fire, they will continue to improve a pace and relegate legacy technology to where it belongs: History...

    It is not a mandate but somehow you can't stop saying it. Legacy auto has had decades to figure out how to build ZEV vehicles that worked. Instead they mostly spent money lobbying as the did again this time. Oh what a SHOCK !

      I agree! We really don't EV mandates. EVs will shortly be so much less expensive to buy and operate than gas cars, no one will want a gas car.
      But government is needed to incentivize the transition to EV manufacturing, build American battery plants, start mining and refining minerals here. We also need cheap energy (fossil fuel) to "power" this transition since nuclear has a 10 year lead-time (due to archaic regulations).
      If legacy auto doesn't figure out how to profitably build battery electric vehicles, China is going to put them all out of business. Government may have to regulate them to do this which is very different than an EV mandate but perhaps even more effective at getting them to make the transition.
