Iiarhente zikarhulumente waseMelika ziceba ukuthenga izithuthi zombane ezingama-9,500 kunyaka-mali ka-2023, usukelo oluphantse lwaphindwe kathathu kunonyaka-mali odlulileyo, kodwa isicwangciso sikarhulumente sijongene neengxaki ezifana nokungonelanga kobonelelo kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso.
Ngokutsho kwe-Ofisi yoXanduva lukaRhulumente, ii-arhente ezingama-26 ezinezicwangciso zokuthenga izithuthi zombane ezivunyiweyo kulo nyaka ziza kufuna imali engaphezulu kwe-$470 yezigidi ekuthengweni kwezithuthi kunye ne-$300 yezigidi eyongezelelweyo. Ukufakela iziseko zophuhliso ezifunekayo kunye nezinye iindleko.
Ixabiso lokuthenga imoto yombane liza kunyuka phantse nge-$200 yezigidi xa kuthelekiswa nemoto yepetroli enexabiso eliphantsi kakhulu kudidi olufanayo. Ezi arhente zithatha ngaphezulu kwama-99 ekhulwini eepesenti zeemoto zikarhulumente, ngaphandle kwe-United States Postal Service (USPS), eliqumrhu elizimeleyo likarhulumente. Urhulumente wase-US akazange aphendule kwangoko kwisicelo sokuphawula.
Kwinkqubo yokuthenga izithuthi zombane, iiarhente zikarhulumente wase-US nazo zijongene nemiqobo ethile, njengokungakwazi ukuthenga izithuthi zombane ezaneleyo, okanye ukuba izithuthi zombane zinokuhlangabezana na neemfuno. ISebe lezoThutho lase-US lixelele i-Ofisi yoXanduva lukaRhulumente ukuba injongo yalo yokuqala ka-2022 yayikukuthenga izithuthi zombane ezingama-430, kodwa ngenxa yokuba abanye abavelisi barhoxisa ezinye ii-odolo, ekugqibeleni banciphise inani ukuya kuma-292.
Amagosa e-US Customs and Border Protection nawo athi akholelwa ukuba izithuthi zombane “azinakuxhasa izixhobo zomthetho okanye zenze imisebenzi yokuqinisekisa umthetho kwiindawo ezinobungozi, njengakwiindawo ezikwimida.”
NgoDisemba ka-2021, uMongameli uJoe Biden wakhupha umyalelo olawulayo oyalela ii-arhente zikarhulumente ukuba ziyeke ukuthenga iimoto zepetroli ngo-2035. Lo myalelo kaBiden ukwathi ngo-2027, i-100 ekhulwini yezithuthi ezikhaphukhaphu ezithengwayo zikarhulumente ziya kuba zezombane okanye ze-plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
Kwiinyanga ezili-12 eziphele nge-30 kaSeptemba 2022, ii-arhente zikarhulumente ziphinde kane ukuthengwa kwezithuthi zombane kunye nee-plug-in hybrids ukuya kwizithuthi ezingama-3,567, kwaye isabelo sokuthengwa sikwanyuke ukusuka kwi-1 ekhulwini yokuthengwa kwezithuthi ngo-2021 ukuya kwi-12 ekhulwini ngo-2022.
Ezi zinto zithengwayo zithetha ukuba ngokwanda kwezithuthi zombane, imfuno yezikhululo zokutshaja nayo iya kwanda, nto leyo elithuba elikhulu kwishishini lokutshaja iinqwaba zeemoto.
