The U.S. EPA unveiled tough new emissions rules today to speed electric vehicle adoption. The industry response was tepid

he Biden Administration and the American automobile industry seemed to be in raptures with one another back in 2021. “We’ve just got to step up—government, industry, labor working together,” President Joe Biden said that August, on the White House lawn, speaking on the need to decarbonize the industry. “We have a playbook, and it’s going to work.

The response from the auto industry has been, not unexpectedly, tepid. “EPA’s proposed emissions plan is aggressive by any measure. By that I mean it sets automotive electrification goals in the next few years that are… very high,” writes John Bozzella, the CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation , an industry group, in a press release. “To be clear, 50 percent [EV sales] was always a stretch goal.

Greg Smithies, partner at venture capital firm Fifth Wall, which has invested in EV infrastructure, says a lot of the automakers’ concerns are fairly manageable. “It behooves the industry to push back on any regulations in general,” he says.
