Subject: Re: Revisiting Chevron
Again, the federal government does not have an EV Mandate. We discussed this already. The environmental protection agency can set emission standards but the car companies can get to those standards any way they want. General Motors announced in January 2021 that it would no longer sell gas-powered cars by 2035, and other leading automakers similarly promised rapid shifts. That was before the Biden administration was settled into their desks in their new offices. - CO

Although intended as rebuttal, I think it illustrates exactly what I am talking about.

First of all setting emission standards close enough to zero IS a backhanded EV mandate.
Beyond that, that this pie in the sky mandate was established pre-Biden doesn't excuse the hubris of it all. My criticism is a pox on most of them either side of the aisle.
