Rep. Mary Miller Blasts 'Woke' EV Mandates Harming Rural Americans

Opposition to Biden's EV Mandates

• 🎯 Rep. Mary Miller expresses strong support for congressional review acts against the Biden administration's electric vehicle mandates.
• ⚠️ These mandates are described as creating undue burdensome rules that negatively impact rural communities.

Impact on Rural Communities

• 🚜 Miller highlights that rural communities, comprising farmers, ranchers, teachers, and parents, are being financially strained by these policies.
• 💡 The absence of electric tractors, balers, or plows is noted, suggesting EVs are not practical for farm operations or the "real world."

EV Limitations and Rural Adoption

• 🥶 Heavy-duty trucks in cold weather states experience a 20% loss in battery capacity.
• 📉 Rural areas have extremely low EV registration rates, often between zero and 0.5%, translating to very few EVs per 10,000 people.

EVs as an 'Urban Elite' Policy

• 🏙️ The argument is made that EVs are primarily for urban elites in warm weather states who lack understanding of rural America.
• 🚫 A government EV mandate is deemed unjustifiable, asserting that vehicle purchasing decisions should belong to American consumers, not "woke extreme climate activists."
