House GOP Launches Investigation into Granholm's EV Trip
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is launching an investigation into Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's recent interstate trip to promote electric vehicle (EV) adoption. The probe comes after allegations that departmental staff vehicles blocked off an EV charging station for Granholm's use. The committee has requested documents and communications related to the trip, including the itinerary and names of drivers and passengers. The incident in question occurred in Georgia, where a family seeking to use the charger called the police. Granholm acknowledged the "poor judgment" of her team and assured that it would not happen again. The investigation also raises broader concerns about EVs and the Biden administration's efforts to expand their use.
