Truckers challenge Biden administration over climate crackdown on electric big rigs
Fox News
U.S. truckers are expressing concern that recent rules finalized by the Biden administration that push for more electric trucks will negatively impact their businesses.
"I'm an owner-operator. I've been in the business for 30 years," Mike Nichols, a Wisconsin-based trucker, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Even if they subsidized the cost of the electric vehicle 100%, I still would refuse because I still would go broke. That's how useless they are. If they gave me one of these things, I still wouldn't take it. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"EV trucks don't do as much work. They're heavier, so they can't haul as much. They don't go as far. They take longer to charge," Nichols added, saying he wouldn't be able to run his business if he were forced into using an electric vehicle.
