This week, the Environmental Protection Agency announced the finalization of new tailpipe emission standards. The agency boasted that these were the strictest standards ever, adding that they would save money, create jobs, and eliminate billions of tons of CO2 emissions.
The lobbying apparently worked because, originally, the 85 gram/mile standard was supposed to kick in as of 2030. Now, this has been delayed to 2032, which, according to the Wall Street Journal, gives the industry more time to adjust to the situation. In fairness, two years will hardly make any difference for anyone. There is also the fact that these revised standards would still require a huge increase in EV sales, at between 31% and 40%, per the WSJ, for model year 2030, for example.
