"Congress Rejects Biden's EV Charger Plans and 'Buy America' Waiver"
The House approved a resolution to overturn a Biden administration rule facilitating the proliferation of electric vehicle charging stations, with bipartisan support. The resolution, led by Sen. Marco Rubio, aims to reinstate Buy America requirements for EV charger parts, but critics argue it would hinder domestic investments and lead to fewer American-made charging stations. Despite the White House's promise to veto the resolution, it passed under the Congressional Review Act, signaling a rebuke to Biden's EV transition plans. Lawmakers are likely to vote again to override the veto, but the president remains committed to his goal of having 50% of new vehicle sales be electric by 2030.
