This is awful. Also:

The American Petroleum Institute has argued that electric vehicle mandates reduce consumer choice and raise the up-front costs of vehicles. In legal filings and public comments, the group also emphasizes it would cost the oil industry enormously.

"[An EV] mandate would produce widespread effects on the national economy, such as the reduced need for oil and gas production and gas processing, and changes to petroleum refining and distribution," the group wrote in one set of comments in 2024, describing the changes required to meet California's rules as "extraordinary."

No shit, that's what the regulations are designed to do. If the best the API can come up with to go against it is "these laws would actually work", then you know that was a step in the right direction.

Now add proper public transit.
