Biden Administration Finalizes Stronger Tailpipe Rules to Push US Auto Market Towards Electric Vehicles

Published: 20 March 2024 at 17:10

The Biden administration has finalized new tailpipe rules for passenger cars and trucks, aiming to transition the US auto market towards electric vehicles and hybrids. The rules, phased in more slowly than initially proposed, allow automakers more compliance options. The goal is to increase EV sales from 7.6% in 2023 to 35%-56% in 2032, with plug-in hybrids playing a significant role. Transportation accounts for a third of US climate pollution, emphasizing the impact of these regulations.
