Could you provide the link to the committee, or provide the material to the committee? Thank you.
You've warned that the transition to EVs can only happen as quickly as consumers are willing to move. It's the old adage of pushing a rope versus pulling a rope. We talk about all kinds of things, like higher upfront costs, lack of charging infrastructure, range anxiety and all these barriers. Whether those are excuses or reality doesn't matter as much as the practicality of today.
We've also heard from dealers that 50% of sales of their inventory are vocational. It means they're work vehicles, vehicles that are used to produce or contribute to GDP. Can you comment on the GDP impact if the right tools for the job aren't available, if this EV standard pushes the dealerships out of inventory balance and they don't have the vehicles that their customers want? What is that going to do to our GDP, which is already in precipitous decline?
