However, is there a reason Louisiana doesn't allow direct manufacturer to consumer vehicle sales?

Just republicans picking winners and losers by asserting the king’s control over the market.

I'd imagine the original restrictions and middle-man requirement was a bipartisan accepting of campaign cash and other goodies from dealership lobbyists.

That law would almost certainly pre-date EV technology. If I’m reading this right, each of the updates to the law sound fair. Maybe they should put their heads together and just write one law covering both technologies. Allow people freedom to buy what they want and let the market play out.

Maybe republicans should add unnecessary and expensive requirements for EV. Like the democrats do for ICE.

Require EV to have a 400 mile on a charge range and all components be "green". That second one would effectively kill EV. Those batteries are made from some of the worst and most toxic components on earth. But because most of them are mined or created in other countries our liberal retarded greenies think they are ok.

You do realize that law has been on the books for years and predates electric vehicles, right?

When have you been able to buy from the ford plant in any state?


And why haven’t democrats put in policy to changed this other than making vehicles more expensive? Louisiana has had 100s of years of democrats in charge.
