A bill at the State Capital has quickly been passed in the House that could make it difficult for some electric vehicle models like Tesla to be bought and sold in Mississippi.
Leaders at the State Capital could be closing the door on the Electric Vehicle industry in Mississippi after House Bill 401 was passed in the House and sent over to the Senate.
Now, state lawmakers want to make sure that’s the only way for manufacturers to sell products in the state -- a model that Electric Vehicle companies like Tesla don’t follow. “This bill is to really give our auto dealers a moment in time to take a look and see how this model is changing. It is, and we’ve got to change with the times, or we’ll get left behind. I think that’s for sure. But we’re just protecting them for a moment,” Senator Bart Williams, -Starkville, said.“There’s big money in this market with the suppliers. For instance, in Nevada, which is an open state, they just had a battery manufacturer come to their state and make a $3.
