Ohio small business owner Ian Lehn discusses EV mandates’ real impact on jobs and the economy.
ARLINGTON, VA—Today, Driving Force Action released a new ad highlighting the damage Harris-supported federal electric vehicle mandates will have on Ohio small businesses. The ad, featuring Ian Lehn, owner of Cincinnati-based BOOSTane, will begin airing on August 12 on television, online, and social media.
The Biden-Harris-imposed EV mandates will effectively eliminate the sale of new gas-powered cars. Like President Biden, Kamala Harris has long supported and advocated for electric vehicles and is expected to continue the Biden Administration’s radical EV mandates.
The Harris-supported federal vehicle mandates threaten the existence of the specialty equipment industry, which supports nearly 86,000 Ohio jobs and generates $6.39 billion for the state’s economy. The potential loss of these jobs is a stark reminder of the human cost of EV mandates. Information on the economic impact of the specialty-equipment industry by state and nationally can be found here.
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz support EV mandates that will further strain families already struggling under the weight of Bidenomics. The last thing families need is another job-killing government-knows-best mandate,” said DFA Spokesman Scot Crockett. “Moreover, Harris’ EV policy will destroy the automotive aftermarket parts industry nationally—a $336 billion industry employing over 1 million Americans,” Crockett continued.
