Biden administration unveils aggressive plan to cut auto emissions and transition to electric vehicles

The EPA plans to propose new auto emissions limits this week that could mandate up to 67% of new vehicle sales be electric by 2032.
The standards aim for at least 50% of new vehicles sold to be zero-emissions by 2030 in line with Biden's climate goals.
The limits would set annual emissions caps for automakers' fleets to compel a rapid shift to EVs, posing challenges for an industry already pledged to half of sales being electric by 2030.
Tax credits, infrastructure spending and mining initiatives would support the transition but faces pushback from automakers on feasibility and job losses.
California emissions rules have spurred over a dozen states to set deadlines for phasing out gas-powered cars between 2030 to 2050.
