Biden Administration Proposes Tough New Rules to Accelerate Electric Vehicle Adoption.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new federal vehicle emissions standards that would significantly reduce climate and other harmful air pollution, unlocking significant benefits for public health, especially in communities that have borne the greatest burden of poor air quality. The proposed standards would avoid nearly 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to more than twice the total US CO2 emissions in 2022, while saving thousands of dollars over the lives of the vehicles meeting these new standards and reduce America’s reliance on approximately 20 billion barrels of oil imports.
