"US Set to Finalize Revised EV Mileage Rule, Impacting Automakers and Emissions Standards"

The EPA is set to release new vehicle emissions rules that will determine the speed at which automakers must transition to all-electric vehicles, with environmental groups pushing for a faster timeline and automakers advocating for a slower adoption. The EPA's original proposal aimed for a significant increase in EV sales by 2032, but the White House seems open to delaying the timeline to align with the auto industry's position. Environmentalists argue that a delay will result in more heat-trapping emissions, while the auto industry seeks better coordination and inclusion of plug-in hybrid vehicles in the rules. Regardless of the final rule, experts anticipate a historic shift in the types of cars people drive and the air they breathe.
