5000 car dealers sign a letter to Biden/Harris begging them to take the EV mandate 'boot' off their necks.

[MarathonMike]

We aren't talking about a bunch of Nobel Laureates sitting in their ivory towers. These are small businesses being crushed by the Green Energy EV mandates imposed by the Biden/Harris Regime. EV technology is way too expensive, adds way too much vehicle weight, are way too dangerous, and Americans don't want them. This is how Democrats "help" small business by bringing down their jack boot on their necks.

Over 5,000 U.S. Dealers Urge Officials To Relax EV And Emissions Rules As Sales Stall | Carscoops

Third letter in a year from dealers to lawmakers claims regulations are out of touch with EV charging infrastructure and consumer demand

[BULLDOG]

Car dealerships are rarely "small businesses".

Multi-million-dollar businesses can be considered small business if you can find the right loopholes.
if you’re a soybean farmer, you have a small business only if your annual receipts total less than $1 million. However, if you’re generating nuclear power, your business is considered “small” as long as you have fewer than 750 employees.
The SBA publishes a comprehensive table of standards defining acceptable sizes for a qualifying small business’ workforce, and/or how much money they generate in average receipts. Some of these standards are ranges, with subclasses within an industry qualifying at varying levels. The list is exhaustive, but here is an overview of maximum workforce sizes in certain prominent industries (as of 2017):

• Manufacturing: 500 to 1,500 employees, with 27% capped at 500.
• 
  
• Construction: Up to $36.5 million a year in average receipts.
• 
  
• Retail: Up to $7.5 million in average annual receipts for one-third of all retail trade subclasses. There is no cap on workforce.
• 
  
• Finance and insurance: Up to 1,500 employees for direct property and casualty insurance carriers. Up to a range of $32.5 million to $38.5 million in average annual receipts.
• 
  
• Real estate: Up to a range of $7.5 million to $32.5 million in average annual receipts.
• 
  
• Health care: Up to a range of $7.5 million to $38.5 million in average annual receipts.
• 
  
• Science and technology: Up to a range of $7.5 million to $20.5 million in average annual receipts, or a maximum of 1,000 to 1,500 employees.
• 
  
• Information sector: Up to a range of 500 to 1,500 employees. Up to a range of $7.5 million to $38.5 million in average annual receipts.
• 
  
• Shipping and cargo: Up to a range of 500 to 1,500 employees, with some subclasses limited to a range of $7.5 million to $37.5 million in average annual receipts.

whish is why i no longer have anything to do with the SBA despite the fact that i started out with them decades ago ~S~

 

[toobfreak]

EV technology is way too expensive,

Just get a second job. Put the wife and kids to work.

adds way too much vehicle weight,

Slows the spin of the earth down making daytime longer to help make green things grow better. Also, lots of extra momentum so that when you crash into another vehicle, you go right through them absorbing less of the impact.

are way too dangerous,

Fire is fire. The fact that EV fires arise spontaneously, burn more when you try to put them out, burn for 24 hours and are half the temperature of the Sun just make people drive more carefully lowering accident rates.

and Americans don't want them.

Americans are used to getting what they don't want, witness Biden and Harris.
I hope these aren't your best EV arguments--- see how easily I dispelled them all?

Yes, and there's far more accusatory terms for that Mike ~S~

Car dealerships are rarely "small businesses".

In fact, they are in that they tend to have fewer than 50 employees and relatively small net turnover.

New car dealerships tend to be franchises who pay the car makers for the right to sell their cars while used car dealers are mostly independents.

I was responding to the comment that car dealerships are rarely small businesses. I have no idea how many dealerships might be small businesses, only that it is possible if they meet the wide ranging criteria.

 

[sparky]

The issue is government regulation of the market here
