Additionally, the EPA estimates that the Multi2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium Duty Vehicles will speed up the nationwide switch to electric vehicles. If the new EPA proposed regulations are passed, by 2032, approximately 67% of new car sales across the country would be electric vehicles and 46% of new medium-duty vehicles sales would be electric vehicles too, according to projections in the EPA press release.

The second new regulation would focus on heavy-duty vocational vehicles, such as delivery trucks, school buses or refuse haulers, and is called the “Greenhouse Gas Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Phase 3.” This regulation will use “performance-based standards that enable manufactur-

Similar to the new set of standards for passenger cars and light trucks, the new standards for heavyduty trucks would build off current standards and aim to cut harmful emissions, provide cleaner air for communities and continue the nationwide transition to electric vehicles on the road.

The EPA estimates that the two new proposed regulations would remove roughly 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions between 2023 and 2055.

“The EPA’s approach is technology-neutral, meaning that better-designed gas vehicles, hybrids, fuel cell vehicles, and other innovations could all be used to meet stricter standards,” the White House said in a press release on Wednesday. In other words, the new standards accommodate different types of clean emissions technology as long as the vehicle adheres to the stricter guidelines.

Overall, the EPA’s new proposed regulations are another piece of President Joe Biden’s Investing In America Agenda. A key aspect of that agenda aims to position the United States as a world leader in clean vehicle technology and charging infrastructure.

There are more than 130,000 public charging stations across the country today, and all 50 states are currently investing in building up their charging
