This is just more of a “feel good” measure that I don’t think will have an immediate impact. The order itself doesn’t contain a timeline, and the article mentions that the majority of federal vehicles are trucks, which as of right now there are no good viable options available on the market.
US built? The batteries too? Heard the mining of rare components is non USA correct? Mining can be an ugly operation certainly hope its happening in someone else's back yard? Hows our electric power generation capacity? Is it good and need expanding too?
Why does it have to be done in 4 years? I think its a good idea since the govt is buying vehicles anyway. I would much rather them spend money on an american owned car company.
Because the next President could issue an EO on day 1 canceling any pending or future purchases, aka Keystone.
Remember he said day 1 we are getting the 2k stimulus $$. Joe where is my $2800 for my kids you said the $600 was a down payment. I don’t need the $$ but I want it.
I think Biden is thinking 30 years ahead for the EV's. This is not going to happen over night. The technology just isn't there, but it will be. Green jobs are growing faster than then the dying fossil fuel industry.
Solar Photovoltaic installers: 50% growth
Wind Turbine Service Technicians: 60% growth
Operators oil and gas: 30% growth.

We can put a man on the moon. We can advance green technology to make it feasible.
Heck, there are solar panels on roofs all around our village now. We would have been farther along had the oil and gas lobbyists not destroyed the EV's back in the 90's.
It's all about the coin here, we all know that.
Green technology is the wave of the future. I personally embrace it. Biden is doing what his constituents voted him in to do. The young people who will inherit this planet wants a clean place to live. I don't blame them. We have not been good stewards of this planet. This has to change.

Wait....there is more from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Why don't you want to tell the COMPLETE story???
Solar Photovoltaic installers: 50% growth......Total number 12,000 employees
Wind Turbine Service Technicians: 60% growth....Total number 7,000 employees
Operators oil and gas: 30% growth.....Total number 145,000 employees in extraction, 1.5 MILLION total in industry.
Coal Industry extraction.......Total number 142,000 employees in extraction.

Oh, BTW......we CANNOT put a man or woman on the moon. The US Government cannot even put a human into low earth orbit.
How does "green technology" put a man on the moon.
Don't worry, the Chinese will be there soon. In the meantime we will be building our infrastructure of 11th century technology. WINDMILLS.
