WASHINGTON, D.C. - Representative John James (MI-10) has shown his support for consumer choice by voting in favor of the CARS (Choice in Automobile Retail Sales) Act. This bill, for which he was an original co-sponsor, aims to block the implementation of strict vehicle emissions standards proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this year.

"As a former automotive supplier, I understand the auto industry intimately. I oppose federal bureaucrats compelling Americans to drive electric vehicles whether they want to or not. I also recognize that the Biden administration's forced transition to EVs - the 'comply or die' mandate being pushed down from the federal government to everyone, from dealers to mechanics to suppliers of all shapes and sizes - would absolutely crater the economy," James stated.

Representative James firmly believes that Americans should have the freedom to choose the type of vehicle they drive, rather than being mandated to switch to electric vehicles. By voting for and co-sponsoring the CARS Act, he is standing up for consumer choice and protecting the economy from potential damage caused by a forced transition to electric vehicles.

The CARS Act has gained support from various stakeholders who value the importance of consumer choice. It is crucial to ensure that Americans have the freedom to choose the vehicles that best suit their needs and preferences. The bill aims to prevent the strictest vehicle emissions standards from being enforced, allowing individuals to continue driving the vehicles they prefer.

The bill's objective is to provide Americans with a range of options when it comes to purchasing vehicles, rather than limiting their choices to electric vehicles. By blocking the implementation of these stringent emissions standards, the CARS Act aims to preserve the diversity of vehicles available in the market.

The CARS Act has the potential to protect the automotive industry and prevent any adverse effects on the economy that could result from a forced transition to electric vehicles. It acknowledges the importance of maintaining a balanced and competitive automotive market, where consumers can freely choose the vehicles that align with their preferences and needs.

Representative James' support for the CARS Act highlights his commitment to protecting consumer choice and ensuring that Americans have the freedom to decide which vehicles they drive. By opposing the strict vehicle emissions standards proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency, he is advocating for a diverse and competitive automotive market that caters to the preferences and needs of all consumers.
