Bipartisan Support Emerges to Overturn Biden's EV Mandate

The House voted in favor of the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act, which aims to strike down federal regulations targeting gas-powered vehicles and the Biden administration's tailpipe emissions regulations. The bill received support from 216 Republicans and five Democrats. If passed, the CARS Act would block proposed regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would increase tailpipe emissions standards for gas-powered cars and limit the availability of new vehicles based on engine type. The Biden administration has set a goal of ensuring 50% of car purchases are electric by 2030. The CARS Act now moves to the Senate, where it has bipartisan support, but President Biden has stated he would veto the bill if it is passed.
