Biden Promises To Enforce Electric Car Usage

The Biden administration is apparently going to propose some of the most rigorous automobile emission standards in the world, with the goal of increasing electric vehicle sales to ten times their present level by 2032, with up to 67 percent of new automobiles sold in the United States being electric vehicles.

According to persons familiar with the issue who spoke to the New York Times, the proposed limitations on tailpipe emissions would be introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with EPA director Michael Regan making the official announcement on Wednesday in Detroit, Michigan.

According to the sources, the EPA standards are projected to ensure that electric vehicles account for between 54 and 60 percent of all new automobiles sold in the United States by 2030, rising to 64 to 67 percent of new car sales by 2032.

This statistic would indicate a significant increase in electric vehicles in the country as a whole, given that only 5.8 percent of vehicles sold last year were all-electric, according to the research. Furthermore, the proposed rule would be the federal government’s most stringent “climate regulation.”

Meanwhile, the European Union has established car pollution laws that are scheduled to completely phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Canada and the United Kingdom have suggested laws comparable to those proposed by Europe.

However, the new laws will provide significant problems for automakers, many of which are currently striving to develop electric vehicles.

While several auto companies have previously spent heavily in creating electric vehicles, just a handful have committed to the kind of commitment that the Biden administration is set to ask, according to the Times.

Furthermore, several of these manufacturers have already had to cope with supply chain challenges that have slowed electric car manufacturing. Even automakers that appear to be highly enthusiastic about developing electric vehicles are allegedly concerned about whether consumers would buy enough of them.
