The EPA’s final rule follows a concession to labor unions worried about a rapid shift to electric vehicles, and a nod that EV sales are slowing

By Maxine Joselow, The Washington PostA charging station with Combined Charging System plugs is seen in Anaheim, Calif.

In another change from the proposal, automakers could comply by boosting sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles in addition to all-electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrids have recently proved more popular with U.S. consumers, in part because of concerns about a lack of public charging infrastructure. “The EV market in the U.S. is still growing, but not growing as fast,” analysts with Kelley Blue Book wrote.

Wednesday’s rule comes after a contentious back-and-forth between the United Auto Workers and the Biden administration over whether - and how - the shift to EVs will benefit workers. Former president Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has called Fain a “dope” and has repeatedly bashed Biden’s EV goals. He has falsely claimed that EVs cannot travel far on a single charge, and he has pledged to scrap the EPA rule on day two of a second term.
