The House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s electric vehicle road trip this summer, which drew attention after charging hiccups resulted in a family calling the authorities on staff blocking a charging station for the official.
Oversight Chairman James Comer and energy policy subcommittee Chairman Pat Fallon asked the agency Tuesday for documents related to Granholm’s journey through North Carolina to Tennessee to “understand the purposes, costs, and consequences” of the road trip. Their letter focuses the inquiry on an NPR report that documented the mishaps of the drive. The demand is the latest instance of Republicans attacking the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles.
As a result, a family with an infant was blocked off from accessing the charger and soon called the police on the staff. These hurdles make up the foundation of the GOP’s criticisms of electric vehicles, along with calling attention to the higher sticker prices of EVs than traditional internal combustion engines. Democrats aimed to address these concerns with billions of dollars in investment through their party-line climate bill and a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
