Biden Admin To Propose Rules To Drastically Increase EV Sales, Crack Down On Tailpipe Emissions: Report

A report from The New York Times indicates that the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) is considering a plan to significantly increase electric vehicle sales in the United States starting in 2030 and accelerating in 2032.

The EPA’s proposed rules would seek to ensure that 67% of all commercial passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. will be all-electric starting in 2032, sources told the Times. Last year, EVs made up just 5.8% of all vehicle sales.

John Bozzella, chairman of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation and a lawyer for U.S. and strange manufacturers, said,” This is an enormous project.” It is nothing less than a total change of the automotive marketplace and commercial center.

Along with the unprecedented push for EV sales, the Biden administration is also expected to crack down on tailpipe emissions for cars made between 2027-2032, according to Bloomberg. The new rules on tailpipe emissions would apply to cars and light trucks and are expected to be officially announced in Detroit on Wednesday.

The White House announced investments for the auto field last week to generate EV sales that would account for half of all new vehicle prices by 2030. Certain buyers receive tax credits for buying new and used electric vehicles as part of Biden’s’s Inflation Reduction Act, which aims to” bring a clean, safe, affordable, and reliable transportation future to Americans.”

“These incentives complement investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and other federal initiatives that are spurring the domestic manufacturing of EVs and batteries and the development of a national EV charging network that provides access to low income and disadvantaged communities,” the White House said in a statement.

The Biden administration contends that carbon emissions, which are a major contributor to climate change, would be pushed to the forefront of the world by the original proposed EPA requirements. According to the Times, the European Union will phase out all new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, and Canada and the United Kingdom have suggested imposing similar restrictions on the EU.

As the federal government signals to continue with heavy regulations on the industry, car manufacturers have recently pushed to produce more EVs, but for some manufacturers, that push has initially resulted in massive losses. Last month, Ford projected it will lose $3 billion in 2023 as it pushes to produce more EVs and build electric battery plants in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Michigan.
