Team Biden is proposing a mandate that requires approximately two-thirds of vehicles sold in 2032 to be electric vehicles. In addition to the challenges individuals face at charging their vehicles when it gets too cold, the American power grid is not yet able to support the resulting demand. Given that China holds most of the production and refining of the materials needed to build electric vehicles, meeting Joe Biden’s objective would give China another piece of leverage over the United States.<\/p>\n

From RealClear Defense:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the administration announced its proposed tailpipe emissions rules, which would mandate that roughly two-thirds of automobiles sold in 2032 would have to be EVs. The most extensive emission rule to date calls for concern as our nation’s power grid currently does not have the infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of EVs nor the means to build the automobiles at that rate. With only about 3 million out of the 261 million cars on road being EVs, the administration’s policies would drastically change the landscape of our nation’s transportation.<\/p>\n

On top of the issues that would arise on our national soil, the largest concern lies within the potential effects on our national security if the emissions rule were to be adopted. China has been a long-time investor of EVs, significantly growing their influence from over $605 million in 2016 to over $24 billion in 2022. A strategic move, China has successfully dominated the industry, forcing many countries who may be interested in EVs to fall to their knees, begging China to give them what they need.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, China also controls the majority of production and refining of the essential materials needed for EVs. In fact, China controls 21 percent of global lithium production and 41 percent of cobalt production. Not to mention, it is the largest producer of aluminum globally. All market factors considered, the U.S. does not stand a chance to independently develop and maintain production needed to foot the bill for the erroneous tailpipe emissions rule. The result of that equation equals more U.S. dependency on China — a foreign communist adversary who should have no business being in a transactional relationship with our beloved nation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
