Biden administration announces new regulations on tailpipe emissions

The Biden administration has announced new regulations on tailpipe emissions, calling for a 56% reduction in fleetwide average carbon emissions by 2032. The new standards are expected to lead to a dramatic increase in EVs, with EVs projected to make up 35% to 56% of sales by 2032. The regulation aims to slash greenhouse gas emissions and toxic pollution, but has been weakened since its initial proposal last spring to align with requests from auto manufacturers and the United Auto Workers.
