Pa. bill aims to create a level playing field for direct-to-consumer EV sales

Pennsylvania's House Commerce Committee has approved a bill that would allow electric vehicle manufacturers without franchised dealership networks to sell directly to consumers, leveling the playing field against Tesla, which has long held a monopoly on direct sales in the state. This move aims to foster competition and potentially lower prices for consumers, mirroring similar reforms in other states. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Gregory Scott, argues that modernizing sales regulations will benefit the growing EV market and consumers alike. This legislative step could reshape Pennsylvania's EV landscape, promoting innovation and consumer choice.
