Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) only attacks climate progress, all while offering zero solutions of his own. climate change to Virginia
automotive game in town: electric. That race to go all-electric is an imminent technology tipping point, akin to the switch from landlines to smartphones a generation ago.
Major automakers are proof the EV tipping point is here: in the next two years, 1 in 3 car models will be all-electric. And in just over a decade, most automakers — be it Chevy, Volvo, Audi, Buick — will be all-electric. You read correctly: by 2035 or sooner, GM and many, many others will have entirely ceased the production of even a single gas-powered vehicle.
The Clean Cars law simply ensures Virginians benefit sooner, not later, from this tectonic market shift. That will be a boon for families: EVs — bought used or new — liberate drivers from pain at the pump. Filling the tank with electricity induces reverse-sticker shock : it costs a mere third of what filling up with gas costs today.
And even without the $7,500 federal rebate for qualifying EVs, by 2028, the on-the-lot, upfront sticker price of new EVs will likely be the same as gas-powered cars. From then on, any car buyer would be financially suicidal to drive a gas-powered vehicle off the lot. Yet, none of these bedrock facts matter to Youngkin. His presidential ambitions dictate that a cynical, “just say no” climate nihilism serves his own political interests, rather than seeking solutions that benefit his actual constituents — everyday Virginians.Accordingly, Virginians can rest assured that, despite Youngkin’s naysaying attacks on Virginia’s climate laws, the Commonwealth will continue the drive to a cleaner, less costly, and more secure future.
