Tate Reeves signed a bill Tuesday restricting electric car manufacturers from selling vehicles in person unless they open franchised dealerships.<\/p>\n<p>Defying calls from some fellow Republicans in the Legislature to veto the measure, Reeves enacted into law House Bill 401, introduced by Republican Rep. Trey Lamar of Senatobia. The law will force electric car companies such as Tesla and Rivian to sell vehicles through franchises rather than company-owned stores, which is how they currently operate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Almost 200 small businesses in communities across our state are seeking assurances that big manufacturers can&#8217;t just destroy their businesses. That&#8217;s fair!&#8221; Reeves, a Republican, said in a statement posted to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>. &#8220;I also recognize that innovation in this industry is inevitable. And with innovation comes new companies with new business models. I am committed to find long-term solutions\u2014in an ever changing market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The bill does not restrict the sale of electric cars, as people can buy them online. But if they want to buy an electric car in person, they would have to drive to the state&#8217;s only Tesla store in Brandon, which will be allowed to remain open under the new law. Tesla or any other electric car company could not open a new brick-and-mortar location to sell cars unless they enter a franchise agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Before the bill passed in a bipartisan 39-13 vote on March 3, it sparked an intraparty debate among GOP lawmakers. Opponents said it would interfere with the automobile market and stop electric carmakers from bringing new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and jobs to the state. Proponents said the law would ensure all car manufacturers, regardless of their business model, play by the same rules.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen. Brice Wiggins, a Republican from Pascagoula, had hoped Reeves would veto the legislation. Lawmakers were aiming to attract Tesla to Mississippi&#8217;s Gulf Coast, an area Wiggins called the state&#8217;s economic driver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In today&#8217;s world, if you don&#8217;t innovate, you lose out. We as a state cannot afford to lose out,&#8221; Wiggins told The Associated Press on Tuesday. &#8220;My vote against the bill was a vote for capitalism, competition and innovation rather than for a policy of protectionism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2023 The Associated Press.
