EPA's New Rule to Drive Massive Increase in US EV Sales.

EPA's New Rule to Drive Massive Increase in US EV Sales.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to announce a new rule that will require between 54-60% of all new cars sold in the US to be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030, rising to 64-67% by 2032. This will be the federal government's most aggressive climate legislation yet and will make the US a world leader in cutting transportation emissions. Only 5.8% of all vehicles sold last year in the US were electric, so this new rule represents a "quantum leap" for the country. The proposed regulation will go through a public comment period and may be altered by the government before it's finalized.
