President Joe Biden is planning to slow down the roll out of a rule that was designed to juice the United States’s transition to electric vehicles.
The administration is reportedly planning to relax its limits on tailpipe emissions, in an election-year concession to labor unions and automakers,Instead of forcing automakers to continue producing more and more EVs to hit near-term targets, the administration will relax the rules, giving manufacturers until after 2030 to boost their sales significantly, the sources said. The final version of the rule is expected to be announced in the spring.
The slowdown still requires automakers to transition nearly 70% of their new car and truck sales to have no tailpipe emissions by 2032, but would allow a slower and steadier on-ramp to reach that number before 2030.needs support from labor unions and automakers in a pivotal election year. Biden saw support from autoworkers in the 2020 election, but many are concerned that a drastic increase in EVs would cost people their jobs.
