Kamala Harris Alters Stance on EV Mandates

Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has publicly denied her support for electric vehicle (EV) mandates, a claim that contradicts her previous actions and legislative history. Campaign communications official Ammar Moussa declared it a 'lie' that Harris wants to force Americans to own EVs, despite her cosponsorship of the Zero Emissions Vehicles Act in 2019, which aimed to transition to 100% zero-emission vehicles. This reversal comes as the Biden administration continues to push stringent EPA regulations aimed at ensuring that 50% of new car sales are electric by 2030. The campaign's stance raises questions about the consistency of the administration's environmental policies, as Harris's previous support for EV mandates is well-documented. Critics argue that this shift reflects political maneuvering rather than a genuine change in policy direction. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the administration's goals and public perceptions of its commitment to green energy initiatives.
