Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg made fun of Americans who don't want to buy electric cars, claiming they're the same as people didn't want to adapt to cell phones in the 2000s.
Buttigieg added the only options were for the US to 'fall behind China or we can claim the lead. President Biden wants to make sure that those EVs are made in America as more Americans choose EVs.' 'Obviously not because they're big environmentalists over in China, just because that's the economically smart play. We've been working to make sure that advantage comes back on American soil,' he added.
Only zero-emission vehicles can be sold in participating states beginning from the 2035 model year, according to the Advanced Clean Cars II legislation. The rule, which was first adopted by California, means that automakers and dealerships would be banned from selling new gas cars in these states.
