"Biden Administration's Resilient EV Regulations Defy Political Shifts and Accelerate Clean Auto Adoption"

The new EPA rule sets strict limits on tailpipe pollution, potentially leading to over half of all car sales being zero-emissions by 2032 and avoiding 7 billion tons of CO2 emissions over 30 years. Despite potential opposition from a second Trump presidency, the significant investment in electric vehicles and related infrastructure may make it difficult to roll back the regulation. The transition to EVs is accelerating, with record sales and growing charging infrastructure, but potential policy uncertainty could slow down the industry's progress. Lawsuits from fossil fuel companies and Republican attorneys general may also challenge the new rule, but its legal basis is supported by longstanding EPA standards.
