Moolenaar Votes Against the Biden-Harris EV Mandate

Today, Congressman John Moolenaar voted for legislation that repeals the Biden-Harris administration's emissions rules that set a goal of having two-thirds of new cars sold in the U.S. be electric vehicles by 2032.

"President Biden and Vice President Harris are attempting to force the production of electric vehicles the American people do not want. This hurts Michigan's auto companies and everyone who works in our auto industry. It also plays right into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party's plans to dominate the EV supply chain. Biden and Harris must end this policy because it hurts Michigan jobs and creates an unfair playing field for Michigan workers," said Moolenaar.

Demand for EVs has slowed recently, and automakers have delayed and scaled back their EV plan, according to CNBC. Ford recently ended the development of an all-electric SUV, saying consumers want hybrids.

Moolenaar is a co-sponsor of H.J. Res. 136. The resolution was adopted by the House of Representatives, 215 to 191.
