"Biden Administration's New EV Rules Spark Controversy in Trucking Industry"

TL;DR Summary
American truck drivers are raising concerns over the Biden administration's plan to push for the heavy-duty vehicle sector to go all-electric, citing limitations in electric vehicle technology such as battery performance in cold weather, shorter range, and longer charging times. They argue that the lack of high-powered charging infrastructure and power grid upgrades needed for fueling vehicles would present additional problems. Industry groups and individual truckers are criticizing the regulations as burdensome and expensive, while the EPA defends the rules, stating that they will deliver substantial public health benefits.
