So, bottom line is President Biden no longer wants to give us a choice based on our budgets and driving habits. "Comrade, you will buy electric and like it!"

I think used car sales will take off again, even more than during Covid. What's that going to do for American jobs in the automotive sector?

I'm still not convinced these activists politicians understand how electrical power is generated. Although I think California is beginning to face the reality of needing to build more natural gas and, heaven forbid, nuclear power plants. Then again, they can always mandate wind turbines and solar panels on every building, and banks of lithium ion batteries for calm, cloudy days.
