EPA pollution limits aim to boost US electric vehicle sales

FILE - An electric vehicle charges at an EVgo fast charging station in Detroit on Nov. 16, 2022. The Biden administration is proposing strict new automobile pollution limits that would require as many as two-thirds of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2032 a nearly tenfold increase over current EV sales, according to an announcement from the Environmental Protection Agency Wednesday, April 12, 2023. that would require as many as two-thirds of new vehicles sold in the U.S.

For slightly larger, medium-duty trucks, the EPA projects 46% of new vehicle sales will be EVs in 2032. Reaching half was always a “stretch goal," contingent on manufacturing incentives and tax credits to make EVs more affordable, he wrote. It remains to be seen whether those provisions are enough to support electric vehicle sales at the level the EPA has proposed, he wrote.

Many auto industry analysts say it will be difficult for automakers to meet the projected sales percentage. The consulting firm LMC Automotive, for instance, said new EV sales could reach 49% in 2032 but are unlikely to go above that, citing high prices for EVs compared with gas-powered cars.for their next cars, with high prices and too few charging stations the main deterrents. Only 19% of U.S.

Environmental groups say stricter tailpipe pollution standards are needed to clean the air we breathe and slow the impacts of severe weather events such as hurricanes, tornados and wildfires.

Recently drove a Tesla several hundred miles. I’m not sure what the hype is about. Lots of concern if I’m going to make it to the next charger, just to wait 20-30 for partial charge to get to next charging station. Oh, and bad for environment and child labor.

Biden’s Punishment for the Average American continues. Forcing The unsustainable EV on drivers, will not have the outcome one would fantasize about.

AP sources: EPA car rule to push huge increase in EV salesThe Biden administration will propose strict new automobile pollution limits this week that would require at least 54% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030, ramping up quickly to as high as 67% by 2032. That's according to industry and environmental officials briefed on the plan. The proposed regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency would set greenhouse gas emissions limits for the 2027-2032 model years that would be more ambitious than goals the auto industry agreed to in 2021. Environmental groups are applauding the ambitious numbers, but the plan is likely to get strong pushback from the auto industry. A joke, looking at the grid’s capacity. Formula for a fiasco of the highest magnitude. gonna be a lot of poor people walking . I wonder how much $ electric vehicle lobbyists are paying our politicians to make this happen
