E&C Republicans Lead to Stop the Biden-Harris De Facto EV Mandate

Washington D.C. - Energy and Commerce Republicans are leading to stop the Biden-Harris administration from imposing unaffordable electric vehicle mandates that will jeopardize our auto industry and hand China the keys to our energy future.

Members spoke on the House Floor in support of H.J. Res. 136, led by Rep. John James (R-MI), which passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 215-191. The legislation will end the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) unrealistic tailpipe emissions rule, which, by the EPA's own admission, would effectively require at least two-thirds of all new cars in the United States to be electric by 2032.

As Chair Rodgers said, "Over and over again, the Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency has doubled down on its radical rush-to-green energy agenda. The EPA's latest tailpipe emissions rule is not really about reducing air pollution-it's about forcing Americans to drive electric vehicles."
