The Biden-Harris administration has tried everything to force Americans to drive electric cars, but government coercion hasn't magically driven up consumer demand.

Ford is scrapping its three-row electric SUV to focus on hybrid vehicles, citing low profits. The company's next three-row SUV will be a hybrid, with plans for a new electric vehicle - a commercial van - pushed back to 2026.

Ford pulls back

The change of plans could cost the company up to $1.9 billion in expenses and write-downs.

“We could not put together a vehicle that met our requirement of being profitable in the first 12 months,” Ford's Chief Financial Officer John Lawler said.

“If these vehicles are not profitable based on where the customer is, we will pivot and adjust and make those tough decisions, and that’s what we’ve done.”

Americans say no

Biden has used tax incentives and draconian mandates to force electric cars on the country, but consumer demand remains low.

Cost is an issue for many consumers, and many are skeptical of electric vehicle technology and its reliance on a network of charging stations.

The Biden administration has made slow progress in building the infrastructure required, with just eight stations built so far under a $7.5 billion program.

Ford is learning the hard way that consumers don't want to be forced to buy something.

“We learned a lot … about what customers want and value, and what it takes to match the best in the world with cost-efficient design, and we have built a plan that gives our customers maximum choice and plays to our strengths,” chief executive Jim Farley said in a statement.

Kamala's agenda

Harris has promoted the government's electric car agenda, particularly a $5 billion push for electric school buses. The program has only created about 60 school buses, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

The Biden-Harris administration wants 50% of all vehicles sold by 2030 to be electric, an ambitious target that is nowhere close to being met.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a top backer of Harris' campaign, struggled to defend the administration's pitiful progress in May.

"Now, in order to do a charger, it's more than just plugging a small device into the ground," Buttigieg told CBS. "There's utility work, and this is also really a new category of federal investment. But we've been working with each of the 50 states."
