TL;DR Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed strict emissions limits for passenger vehicles to combat climate change, suggesting that 67% of new-vehicle sales should be electric by 2032. However, the auto industry considers this target unrealistic, and even if achieved, it is estimated that over 80% of vehicles on U.S. roads would still run on gasoline or diesel fuel. Environmental groups argue that the EPA's proposal falls short of what is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. The EPA contends that its plan will significantly reduce pollution, but skepticism remains about its feasibility and effectiveness.
