Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has repeatedly labeled several highways and even underpasses as racist – but turns a blind eye to the Biden administration’s electric vehicle agenda, which is actually deserving of the title. As team Biden pushes EVs via numerous mandates and subsidies, most recently with the Environmental Protection Agency ’s ultra-stringent vehicle emissions rule, they must know that it threatens Black families struggling to reach the middle class.
Studies show affluent Americans making $100,000 annually benefit the most from taxpayer-subsidized EV credits. Little wonder that 90% of EVs are part of wealthier, less multi-vehicle suburban households. The list goes on regarding how EVs do not match the needs of Black families. For example, many government assistance programs have strict asset limits that would be violated by owning an EV, even a relatively cheaper one.
Sadly, this is all part of the Left’s long history of doing more harm than good for the Black community. From welfare programs tailored to encourage government dependence and fracture families, to defunding the police for the very people who want more police, to locking kids into failing public schools, the results are always the same. And now, it is a Biden administration agenda that jeopardizes personal mobility for those who need it most.
