Harris Campaign Denies Support for Electric Vehicle Mandates
Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on EV mandates shifts amid scrutiny of her legislative history and current administration policies.
- The Harris campaign states she does not support an electric vehicle mandate, countering claims from the Trump-Vance campaign.
- Harris previously co-sponsored the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019, which aimed to phase out gasoline-powered cars by 2040.
- The Biden administration's EPA regulations push for a significant increase in electric and hybrid vehicle sales by 2030.
- Critics highlight inconsistencies between Harris's past legislative actions and her current campaign position.
- The automotive industry's slow adoption of EVs and issues with charging infrastructure are ongoing challenges.
