A funny thing happened on our way to our all-electric future: reality. I’ve written at length in recent weeks about Presidentish Joe Biden’s hamfisted and wrongheaded EPA rules meant to force everybody into electric vehicles, whether EVs suit their needs or not. But maybe nothing to compare to Oliver Price’s headline on Wednesday, asking […]
The Biden administration has announced in recent weeks new stringent emissions requirements for virtually the entire American transportation system. The Environmental Protection Agency will mandate by the year 2035 that virtually every car made and sold in America must be an EV. No more gas cars. The […]
America’s eminently mockable Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, went on national TV on Tuesday to mock Americans who find that electric cars don’t suit their transportation needs. “Sometimes, when these debates happen,” the failed former mayor of South Bend, Ind. told Fox News, “I feel like it’s the early 2000s […]
Tesla’s sales numbers slumped in the first quarter of the year. The company’s sales numbers were down about 8 percent compared to last year. CEO Elon Musk’s electric car company reported it built 433,000 vehicles but delivered only 387,000. That’s down from the 484,507 cars it delivered in the final three months of 2023, and […]
Say goodbye to the trucking industry as we know it, and goodbye to the American economy, too. You might have missed it on Good Friday — which you can be sure was no accident — when the Biden EPA released its new tailpipe rules for semi-trucks, but the new rules will destroy how we […]
The war on gas-powered vehicles continues. While the White House recently released new rules to phase out gas-powered vehicles by 2032, several states have gone further. Eight states plan to completely ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported. Who’s leading the charge, you might ask? Why, it’s California, […]
The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday released its proposed emissions standards for diesel trucks and buses, triggering a backlash from the trucking industry. The new standards will begin with the production of 2027 model-year vehicles and apply to short-haul and long-haul tractor-trailer trucks, in addition to vocational trucks such as delivery vehicles, garbage trucks, buses, […]
Donald Trump was right. It’s going to be a bloodbath when China’s BYD starts selling its “fun-to-drive” Seagull EV in this country at a price not even Tesla can match. The five-door hatchback doesn’t have the best range or fanciest amenities. But what it does have is a top […]
Former President Donald Trump is lighting up President Joe Biden after the release of restrictive new vehicle emission regulations designed to accelerate electric vehicle production. Trump pledged to put the brakes on the Biden electric vehicle mandate “on Day One” of his administration if he wins the November presidential election. The Biden administration and the […]
Apparently, the existential threat of climate change diminishes during election years. According to Reuters, on Tuesday the Biden administration’s Department of Energy announced measures supposedly designed to ease the auto industry’s painful transition to electric-vehicle manufacturing. It was a scaled back version of the original proposed standards, as Reuters reported, and the news agency called […]
