Harris’ push for electric vehicles suffers another blow after automaker backtracks: ‘Unwanted and unworkable’

Vice President Kamala Harris' as known advocate for electric vehicles, has faced another setback as an automaker has backtracked on their previous commitments. The unnamed automaker has described the proposed plans as 'unwanted and unworkable'. The U.S. administration has been pushing for automakers to increase electric vehicle production as part of their effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. However, the adoption of electric vehicles has faced numerous barriers including infrastructure deficits, technological limitations, and consumer apprehension. While a specific automaker's pushback doesn't derail the entire initiative, it does suggest that the administration may face ongoing resistance from not only consumers but also manufacturers, who are faced with the challenges of revamping their production processes and dealing with supply chain disruptions. This indicates that much work still needs to be done to not only convince automakers of the feasibility of electric vehicles but also address and overcome the challenges impacting the sector. No additional details were provided about the specific nature of the automaker's objections and what these mean for the administration's overall electric vehicle plan.
