The latest steps in Congress are favoring freedom of choice in vehicles.   Today Trump held a signing ceremony for three Congressional resolutions revoking the mandates forcing EV cars and trucks onto the public in the future.

These Congressional resolutions revoke California’s plan to end the sale of new gasoline-only cars and trucks by 2035, a policy adopted by 11 states representing nearly a third of the U.S. auto market.  The blue state of Maryland is among the states effected. 

The revocation is welcomed by the general public, as well as by the vehicle makers.  Freedom from those very costly vehicles gives a feeling of relief from budgetary concerns, to both groups.  And those changes were popular with the auto worker groups.   

These resolutions represent a significant win for automakers like General Motors, Toyota, and national auto dealer associations that had lobbied against the mandates.

Recall that high EV prices and limited range are not the only major drawbacks.  There's been motorists stranded from cold weather non-operation, and recharging suffering cold weather failures.  There's potential for stranding from power grid brownouts and blackouts like Calif has experienced. Ongoing cost concerns came from high insurance rates, more costly maintenance, and higher depreciation.  There's almost no viable used car market for EVs.  

Seems a wide segment of the public will applaud this action, not only conservatives.  

Yet California is jumping into the courts, along with 10 other states to try to find a sympathetic ally.  Are they sore losers???
