Workers at Stellantis in Toledo, Ohio, are speaking out against these new policies, including those put in place by President Biden and his administration, and their negative effects on the average American.

And since California has a huge population of almost 40 million people, this policy directly affects vehicles, both gas-powered and EVs, across the country.

The President is requiring that at least two-thirds of all new vehicle sales in the entire country must be electric by 2032, even though EV sales only represent 2% of auto sales at the moment.

The automotive manufacturing industry is one of the biggest businesses in the country. Ten million units are currently made every year on US soil, and the industry employs a whopping one million Americans.

But now, Stellantis has reportedly laid off more than 1,000 workers from their factories in Toledo, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan, and will likely have to let go of several thousand more due solely to Newsom and Biden’s EV requirements.

Hayes said, “What we’re seeing is that failed policy out of Sacramento and out of DC are costing real collateral damage here in the Midwest. The effort to put you into an electric vehicle before we can do so, before it’s even attainable… it’s unachievable and it’s costing jobs.”

Therefore, if gasoline-powered vehicles won’t be available for sale within the next ten years, then they have to stop making them, which means laying off workers and even closing down smaller factories.

UAW workers are claiming that these companies need to do more to protect their jobs, but the companies are saying they are just following orders and there is nothing more they can do for their employees.

That means the entire automotive industry is in serious trouble. But many people are wondering: who will make all the EVs if the American companies can’t?

And because of this necessity or decision, depending on which side you’re on, many Americans who don’t even work in the auto industry are starting to fight back against the new EV policies.

In fact, Trump has already made it completely clear how he feels about the EV policies when he said, “On day two, we will get rid of this ridiculous electric car mandate. You know, on a diesel fuel truck, you go 2,000 miles. On an electric truck, you have nothing left because the battery is so large it takes up most of the space… but it only goes 300 miles.” And continued, “You talk about a supply chain problem.”

But for now, the policies in place from California and Biden’s administration are already affecting American citizens, and not in a good way as Biden had hoped.
