<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pushing Back Against Mandates

After years of hyper and hurried mandates regarding Electric Vehicles (EV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Self-Driving or Driverless Vehicles and their suggested benefits toward the environment and the future of the planet, some moderation is happening. To begin, the State of Connecticut has withdrawn from its original position of joining the CARB Mandate, requiring passenger vehicles to be electric by 2035. After receiving bipartisan resistance, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont withdrew the Mandate Proposal after four months of consideration.

Also in recent news:

3000 Auto Dealers, representing nearly every major brand and all 50 states, have sent a letter to President Biden asking his administration to "tap the brakes" on the push toward BEVs. The mandates are leading to inventory that consumers are not buying.

GM is adjusting its budget regarding its Cruise Division of Self-Driving Vehicles after they were involved in several high-profile incidents. These recently prompted Matthew Colvin, chief of staff of the Transportation Trades Department to say in a letter to the US Department of Transportation: "The public are also recognizing that being unwitting guinea pigs to unproven tech that's desperately underregulated is not what anybody has signed up for."
