House Rejects Biden's EV Mandate – How Does It Affect Canada?

The U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 4468, known as the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act of 2023, with total GOP support. This bill aims to block the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed rule, backed by President Biden, requiring 68% of U.S. cars to be fully electric by 2032. Critics, including Republicans and some Democrats, argue the mandate is unrealistic, threatens consumer freedom, and increases dependence on China for rare earth minerals. Despite passing the House, the bill faces challenges in the Senate, with President Biden threatening a veto. The issue may impact future negotiations and the 2024 presidential election.
