The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is seeking answers and information from Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm about her electric vehicle (EV) road trip earlier this summer, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Tuesday letter, signed by Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, requested that Granholm and the Department of Energy (DOE) provide a summary of all the vehicles involved in the trip, itineraries, internal and external communications and any potential information about the cost of the trip to taxpayers, according to the letter’s text.
Granholm went on the four-day EV road trip through the Southeast this summer to promote EVs and their role in President Joe Biden’s wider push to simultaneously reinvigorate American manufacturing and fight climate change, but her trip ran into several different problems that NPR detailed earlier in September.
