Lincoln, Neb. — Nebraska has added itself to a 25-state lawsuit to block Pres. Biden’s electric vehicle mandate. The mandate requires that nearly 70% of car sales be EVs (electric vehicles) by 2032.
American electric vehicles represented only 8.4% of sales last year.
Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers says, “Americans should be free to choose what car they buy. Yet the Biden Administration’s new emissions standards will force Americans looking for a new car to buy electric vehicles.”
Hilgers says the forced transition to EVs would harm the American economy, threatening jobs, raising prices, and undermining the reliability of the electric grid.
A Gallup poll released just this month showed fewer Americans said they would consider buying an EV, with almost half (48%) saying they would not purchase one.
Nebraska joined the lawsuit along with Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North & South Dakota, and Wyoming.
