"House Republicans' Assault on Biden's EV Mandate Threatens Major Transition in the U.S."
Plans for a major shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) in the U.S. by 2032 have suffered a setback as the House of Representatives, led by Republicans, blocked a vehicle emissions regulation proposed by the Biden Administration. The regulation aimed to have two-thirds of new vehicles be electric by 2032, but the vote resulted in a veto threat from the White House. Republicans argue that other technologies, including hydrogen, hybrids, and internal combustion engine vehicles, should also be considered. Automakers are divided on the proposed emissions cuts, with the UAW and Toyota expressing concerns, while Tesla supports stricter limits.
