The House of Representatives on Sept. 14 passed legislation that would prohibit bans or limits on sales of gasoline-powered vehicles.

“Electric vehicles will be part of our energy matrix for a long time. ... No Republicans deny that, but government is trying to pick what you drive, America,” Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) said during an hour-long debate prior to the House vote.
