Here's a look at some of President Biden's recent claims on electric vehicles and jobs and how they compare to the facts.
Eager to show benefits from his policies, President Joe Biden is overstating the number of electric vehicle charging stations that would be built with his infrastructure law and claiming a speedy shift to electric in the federal fleet that isn't so.
Because the average age of a postal vehicle is 30 years, new vehicles purchased now aren’t likely to be replaced again until well past 2035. The White House and the Environmental Protection Agency have called for the Postal Service to conduct a new environmental review. White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy acknowledged last week that the administration was “disappointed” by the initial bulk purchase of gas-powered postal vehicles and hopes the Postal Service will change its mind on remaining vehicles.
The bipartisan legislation approved by Congress ended up providing just half of the $15 billion that Biden had envisioned to fulfill a campaign promise of 500,000 charging stations by 2030. The Transportation Department's plan asks states to build a nationwide network of EV charging stations that would place new or upgraded ones every 50 miles along interstate highways. The $5 billion in federal money over five years relies on cooperation from sprawling rural communities in the U.S., which are less likely to own EVs due to their typically higher price.TAYLOR GREENE:
To meet a 50% target, the auto industry stresses that billions of dollars in electric-vehicle investments in the Build Back Better legislation, including up to $12,500 in tax credits for people who buy electric vehicles, will be vital to meeting those goals. Manchin has expressed a desire to trim at least a portion of the tax credit that is intended for EVs made by unions.“In my first full year as president, the economy created 6.6 million new jobs. 6.6 million.
