A major regulatory order this week would decide the near-term fate of the electric vehicle movement in the U.S., impacting not only millions of Americans but also how the world’s second-biggest polluting country tackles climate change. This week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is poised to finalize emissions rules that will effectively require a certain percentage—as much as two-thirds by 2023—of new cars to be all-electric, Politico and other outlets have reported in recent days.
According to one estimate, the alternative ruling that’s likely to pass would require EV penetration rates to reach 32% by 2027, and then increase every year after that, finally reaching 54% by 2030 and 68% by 2032. As of 2021, the transportation sector was the largest contributor to planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., accounting for 29% of total emissions.
