The tailpipe standards would also help cut planet-warming pollution from cars in half. Transportation accounts for nearly 30% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the US, according to the EPA.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday proposed ambitious new car pollution rules that could require electric vehicles to account for up to two-thirds of new cars sold in the US by 2032, in what would be one of the Biden administration's most aggressive climate-change policies yet.
"This is a future for everyone, and we're starting to see all of the auto industry move in this direction," Regan told CNN's Sara Sidner, saying strong auto emissions rules have been part of President Joe Biden's "vision from day one." "It's a pretty big deal," said Thomas Boylan, a former Environmental Protection Agency official and the regulatory director for the EV trade group Zero Emission Transportation Association. "This is really going to set the tone for the rest of the decade and into the 2030s in terms of what this administration is looking for the auto industry to do when it comes to decarbonizing and ultimately electrifying.
Yet even as the administration is writing aggressive regulations to push the market toward EVs, a Gallup poll released Wednesday suggests that Americans are not yet sold on the idea. Gallup polled more than 1,000 adults in the US last month and found that 41% said they would not buy an electric vehicle.
"Folks who purchase electric vehicles will see a cost savings over the lifespan of the vehicle, because they're not having to buy gas, having to pay for maintenance," Regan said. "So this is a huge opportunity for everyone in this country."
