Car dealerships across the United States are urging President Joe Biden to reconsider his electric vehicle (EV) mandates, citing a lack of consumer interest in EVs.
In a letter to Biden, the dealerships express concerns about the unrealistic nature of the proposed regulations and the mismatch between EV demand and the large influx of vehicles prompted by current regulations.
They highlight challenges such as cost, charging infrastructure, and consumer preferences. (Trending: Another Major Company Goes Woke And Goes Broke)
“We are asking you to slow down your proposed regulations mandating battery electric vehicle (BEV) production and distribution,” the car dealers said to Biden.
“With each passing day, it becomes more apparent that this attempted electric vehicle mandate is unrealistic based on current and forecasted customer demand,” the car dealers write to Biden.
“Already, electric vehicles are stacking up on our lots which is our best indicator of customer demand in the marketplace.”
“Today’s current technology is not adequate to support the needs of the majority of our consumers,” they continued.
“Many of these challenges can and will be addressed by our manufacturers, but many of these challenges are outside of their control. Reliable charging networks, electric grid stability, sourcing of materials, and many other issues need time to resolve. And finally, many people just want to make their own choice about what vehicle is right for them.”
“Mr. President, it is time to tap the brakes on the unrealistic government electric vehicle mandate. Allow time for the battery technology to advance. Allow time to make BEVs more affordable.”
“Allow time to develop domestic sources for the minerals to make batteries. Allow time for the charging infrastructure to be built and prove reliable. And most of all, allow time for the American consumer to get comfortable with the technology and make the choice to buy an electric vehicle.”
The dealerships urge the administration to allow time for battery technology advancement and affordability, as well as for consumers to become comfortable with EVs.
Auto industry experts also note the struggle to sell EVs, with dealerships reporting low sales and EVs sitting unsold for extended periods.
