In an interview with The Washington Examiner, auto expert Karl Brauer conceded that there is a lack of resources to support the transition to electric vehicles. He said that the Biden administration’s goal of having 50% of new car sales be electric by 2030 is “not realistic” and that there are “a lot of hurdles” to overcome.

Brauer cited a number of challenges, including the high cost of electric vehicles, the lack of charging infrastructure, and the fact that many Americans live in areas where it is not practical to own an electric car. He also said that the auto industry is not yet ready to meet the demand for electric vehicles.

Despite these challenges, Brauer said that he believes the transition to electric vehicles is inevitable. He said that the cost of electric vehicles will come down over time, and that the charging infrastructure will improve. He also said that the auto industry will eventually catch up with the demand for electric vehicles.

However, Brauer said that the Biden administration needs to be realistic about its goals. He said that the administration should focus on making electric vehicles more affordable and accessible, rather than setting unrealistic deadlines.
