Kamala Harris claims to no longer support electric vehicle mandates

Current Vice President and candidate for president Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on numerous important policy issues, but perhaps her biggest is that she “does not support EV mandates.” This is perhaps the biggest and most unbelievable policy change in American presidential history for reasons that will be outlined below:

  1. Harris is currently Joe Biden’s VP. The Biden Administration has spent much of his time in office working to impose an EV mandate and provide massive subsidies for a nationwide network of EV charging stations. She has NEVER taken a stance in opposition to that policy during her time as VP.
  2. Kamala Harris backed the “Green New Deal” radical legislation which attempted to eliminate traditional gas vehicles in favor of EV’s. 
  3. Harris’ vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has pushed for and gotten EV mandates and charger subsidies implemented in his state Minnesota.
  4. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (a prime time speaker at the recent DNC) supports both EV mandates AND EV charger subsidies. Why on earth would you invite someone who supports a policy you oppose to have such a prominent speaking slot?

IF Harris has suddenly seen the light, we applaud her, but we are skeptical for obvious reasons that she will actively work to overturn Biden’s EV policies.
