Seventeen states , — led by Attorney General of Nebraska Mike Hilgers , — are suing after California moved to adopt new EV mandates.
Hilgers explained to Breitbart News Daily host Mike Slater , why California’s walk is absurd and may affect the supply chain.
The California Air Resources Board ( CARB), a governing body, is the subject of the Nebraska AG’s statement that the move is a result of an unelected body called CARB.
” And it was n’t just California, by the way, Mike, it was also the Biden administration’s EPA, but essentially what California said is they said, look, we have the biggest economy, one of the biggest economies in the world. We have some very important ships, and once this oversight comes into effect, you must have a certain number of electric cars for your vehicles, he said, noting that there are “maybe 100 large half vehicles in the entire United States that are run on batteries” and that there are more than 16 million diesel-powered trucks in the country.
” And the Biden administration, EPA, may achieve more or less the same issue. These are, at the end of the day, demands”, he said, explaining that a company’s ships will have to have a specific amount of electrical cars.
” In order to send our product]in Nebraska], mainly to Asia, we have to go to California, and with this, and to do that, you know, it’s difficult. The ship must be a certain length, he said, not particularly large, he said, pointing out that California would only have a certain portion of EVs.

” There’s practically no EV cars. There’s also no charging equipment in the overall condition of Nebraska. And we have the largest span of I- 80 in the country. There’s no one — there’s not one of these paying channels”, Hilgers said, noting that a shipping charging station “draws so little energy, it’s the equivalent of a little city”.
” It’s not a little issue for everyone— not only Nebraskans”, he added, explaining that the percentage that must be Electric depends on the season.
” It starts at about 10 percent” and goes up over time, he said, adding that this can also be misleading, because” they might say, well, you know, you do n’t have to be fully implemented until 2030 or 2032″.
We’re not even sure we can get the nutrients to mass produce these types of vehicles at scale using the batteries, so you might think, well, I have six or seven years in the world of design times for cars and undoubtedly for vehicle trailers. Seven times is actually like a blink of an eye, he said, noting that this is basically an “overnight transformation of our supply ring”.
