Jim, as a practical matter if the emissions standards become super tough it is a defacto elimination of gas vehicles. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Yet Biden may be getting close to a constitutional violation of freedom to buy vehicles of your choice. At the Federal level, there is no proposed ban on gasoline or diesel vehicles. The current EPA rules call for reducing emissions by about 50% between 2026 and 2032. This is at the manufacturer level, not the consumer. So for the foreseeable future, you can buy any vehicle you want to. No Federal mandates to buy EVs. At the state level, California wants to phase out new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and some other states are following a similar timeline. Those phase-outs have nothing to do with Biden; He has not mandated vehicle choice nationwide. |
