"New EPA Rules Propose Major Boost for Electric Vehicle Sales and Emissions Reduction Goals"

The Biden administration is proposing two new rules to ensure that two-thirds of new passenger cars and a quarter of new heavy trucks sold in the United States are all-electric by 2032. The proposed rules would require a revolution in the U.S. auto industry, but would put the country on track to slash its planet-warming emissions at the pace required to avert the most devastating impacts of climate change. The rules would eliminate the equivalent of carbon dioxide emissions generated over two years by all sectors of the economy in the United States. However, some autoworkers and manufacturers fear that the transition to all-electric vehicles goes too far, too fast and could result in job losses and lower profits.
