Biden Pushes Automakers to Accelerate Shift to Electric Vehicles

  • The Biden administration announced strict new requirements that could reshape the auto industry around electric vehicles within the decade.
  • The plan seeks to have electric vehicles account for up to 67% of all new car sales by 2032 and to cut carbon emissions from the transportation sector nearly in half.
  • Critics argue that the rules would curb consumer choice and harm the economy, while supporters say they are necessary to address climate change and will create new jobs.
  • The auto industry criticized the plans as unfeasible and called for more incentives, infrastructure, and regulatory certainty to enable a faster transition to electric vehicles.
  • The EPA will consider feedback on the proposals before issuing final regulations by the end of the year.
