Republican lawmakers proposed two bills to block a ban on the sale of gas cars in Louisiana, pushing back on the Biden administration's EV mandates.
One of the bills was postponed Thursday, while another is expected to be discussed next week in the state House of Representatives, thein an effort to prohibit the government’s restriction or limits on selling customers gas-powered vehicles. Horton’s bill would also ensure that the state’s Air Pollutant Emission Control program does not prohibit residents from purchasing gas-powered vehicles.
However, Horton said she would much rather lend her support to the bill that was deferred, which was authored by Rep. Phillip Tarver, who owns a Toyota car dealership, according to the outlet.that, if approved, would mandate that all cars and light trucks have an average of about 58 miles per gallon by 2032 and require automakers to sell more electric and battery-powered vehicles.
The legislation follows Republicans’ disapproval of the electric vehicle mandate President Joe Biden’s administration has been pushing, which would require two of every three vehicles sold to be battery-powered.Biden administration officials claim the EV initiative would be a greener alternative to combustion engine vehicles, while a large number of consumers remain skeptical due to the reliability and prices of electric vehicles which have taken on battery troubles in recent years.
