Biden Administration to Relax Auto Emissions Standards, Addressing Concerns Over EV Sales
  • last month
The Biden administration will announce relaxed auto emissions standards that ease limits from 2027 to 2029 but reach the same strict 2032 standards. This comes as EV sales growth has slowed amid concerns over cost, range, and charging infrastructure. The auto industry objected that the original EPA standards calling for 67% of new car sales to be electric by 2032 were unachievable. The new standards will slow implementation initially but ramp up faster later. Biden faces pressure to cooperate with automakers while fighting climate change through electrification.
