In a development that can surprise no one, the Biden administration is reportedly planning to delay the schedule of its “multi-pollutant emissions standards” rule to force a massive shift to electric vehicles (EVs).
The rule as currently proposed would force an EV market share of 67 percent for new cars and light-duty trucks by 2032, up from 7.6 percent in 2023. The administration is now reportedly planning to slow the rate at which the EV market share would increase through 2030, but with an accelerated pace thereafter.
