Kamala Harris’s EV mandate costs taxpayers $7,500 and Ford $44,000 per car

As part and parcel of her campaign strategy of rebooting Joe Biden’s successful 2020 basement blueprint, Kamala Harris has debuted yet another 180-degree policy reversal via press release. The vice president’s campaign announced that contrary to former President Donald Trump’s claims to the contrary, the Democratic presidential nominee “does not support an electric vehicle mandate,” the same way Harris is suddenly pretending she never supported a ban on fracking and private health insurance, opposed constructing a barrier along the Southern border, otherwise known as a “wall,” and co-sponsored Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.

In reality, of course, it’s not just that Harris has vociferously supported EV mandates both before and during her tenure as vice president, but that she has done so to the tune of thousands of dollars in taxpayer losses for each EV sold and tens of thousands of dollars of losses for the private sector.
