“Stop the EV Madness!
In another move that defies all sanity, Democrat lawmakers shot down bills that would stop Virginia from adopting and being in lockstep with California’s standards for electric vehicles. Because of their actions, 35% of all new vehicles sold in Virginia in 2025 must be electric” Regularly I get stupid emails like this. There are not enough electric cars on the market. Is doesn’t make sense. |

Republicans all lie
There is not one worth the air we breathe |

It’s actually not a lie. It was a dumb move by Virginia Democrats in 2021 to tie themselves to California’s legislation to ban gas cars but that is exactly what they did.

| It seems silly to ban ICE cars by some date because it’s not like they have a hard time selling EVs. They sell as they are produced, so ICE cars are already being replaced as fast as they can produce EVs. In 2023-2024 a lot more models will hit the showrooms and the rate will only increase. Some manufacturers won’t even be producing an ICE model by the early-mid 2030s. Not much need to mandate it. |
