New Mexico Car Dealers to Biden: EVs "stacking up on our lots"

Albuquerque – Nearly 3,900 car dealerships are sounding the alarm on President Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) mandates, including 41 dealers in New Mexico. Dealers are raising concerns over President Biden’s push to inject more EVs into the market saying that the majority of their customers don’t want them. Dealers warn EVs are “stacking up on our lots” while EV technology “is not adequate to support the needs of the majority of our consumers.” The warning letter arrives less than two weeks after Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham forced through EV sales mandates of her own, and as the liberal Democrat governor of Connecticut abandons his state’s EV mandate.
“It’s really simple: New Mexicans don’t want to be told what kind of car to drive, but Governor Lujan Grisham refuses to listen,” said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. “If EVs are piling up on dealer lots today, the Governor’s forced quotas will cripple these businesses in just a few years. The Governor is living in a fantasyland of green dreams and it is past time she open her eyes to reality.”
