US Government Pushes for Stricter Auto Emission Rules to Promote Electric Vehicles

The US Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new tailpipe emissions limits that could require up to 67% of all new vehicles sold in the US by 2032 to be all-electric, surpassing President Joe Biden's previous commitment to have EVs make up roughly 50% of cars sold by 2030. The limits would also substantially reduce climate-changing emissions from the transportation sector, the largest source of US greenhouse gases. The proposed limits would present a slew of challenges for automakers, including the need for more widespread and reliable charging infrastructure and more materials necessary for EV batteries.
