The Green New Steal comes face to face with reality
2 items in the news illustrate how disastrous the mandates from the Green New Steal aka the Inflation Reduction Act are .
3,882 auto dealers wrote a letter to Clueless Joe begging him to back off of EV mandates
Quote:
While the goals of the regulations are admirable, they require consumer acceptance to become a reality. With each passing day, it becomes more apparent that this attempted electric vehicle mandate is unrealistic based on current and forecasted customer demand. Already, electric vehicles are stacking up on our lots which is our best indicator of customer demand in the marketplace.
Mr. President, no government agency, no think tank, and no polling firm knows more about the automobile customer than us. We talk to customers every day. As retail automotive dealerships, we are agnostic as to what we sell. Our business is to provide customers with vehicles that meet the needs of their budgets and lifestyles.
Some customers are in the market for electric vehicles, and we are thrilled to sell them. But the majority of customers are simply not ready to make the change.

Adding weight to their concerns is Dem Guv of Connecticut Ned Lamont. The state had plans like California to ban sales of gas vehicles in the state by 2035 .But he faced stiff opposition in the legislature. So he ended the effort.....at least for now.

As the dealers noted ......“many people just want to make their own choice about what vehicle is right for them.”
Does this mean the EV movement has run out of gas ?
