"Controversy Surrounds Biden's EV Policies as Republicans and Industry Groups Push Back"

Several Republican representatives have proposed amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act in an attempt to hinder the Pentagon's electrification efforts. The proposals, which include banning funding for EV research and development and terminating contracts for electric non-combat vehicles, have been criticized as mind-bogglingly dumb and reflective of either Luddite thinking or influence from the fossil fuel industry. The US military has been transitioning to electric vehicles and aims to be net-zero by 2050, but these proposals could impede progress and hinder the military's combat readiness and training.
