The House Oversight Committee launched an investigation Tuesday into a summer electric-vehicle road trip taken by Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm meant to promote the Biden administration’s green energy agenda.
But Ms. Granholm’s four-day excursion in June included a tense altercation with local law enforcement after a staffer used a gas-powered vehicle to save an EV charger for the secretary, boxing out a family with an EV waiting for a charger on a hot summer day.
The committee demanded information by Oct. 10 about the purposes, costs and planning of the trip, which covered 770 miles from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Comer and Mr. Fallon also requested a staff-level briefing by Oct. 3.The House GOP probe comes after the third-ranking Senate Republican, John Barrasso of Wyoming, made a similar request for information earlier this month.
However, Ms. Granholm’s trip underscored the challenges of long-distance travel with EVs that are limited to just a few hundred miles in range before requiring a lengthy recharge. Her entourage included three EVs, in addition to staff and security using gas-powered vehicles.
