President Biden is set to propose new gas-powered car and light truck emissions standards next week as part of the administration's latest push for electric vehicles. Sources familiar with the announcement, who asked to remain anonymous, told Bloomberg that the standards would be the strictest ever proposed, just short of an EV mandate or gas-powered vehicle ban.
In Detroit next Wednesday, the Biden administration is predicted to announce heavy restrictions on tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and other vehicle emissions. The restrictions would impact vehicle models 2027 through 2032.
The Environmental Protection Agency is anticipated to reject requests from environmental groups to apply standards through 2035.
According to Bloomberg, gas-powered vehicle manufacturers have requested that the administration push back the proposed standards, claiming that meeting the emissions requirements and EV production goals largely depends on investments in charging infrastructure, mineral production, and other factors outside automakers' control.
In addition to announcing updated standards for cars and light trucks on Wednesday, the EPA plans to propose additional rules on heavy-duty trucks and smog-forming vehicle emissions that could force manufacturers to implement exhaust controls. Later this month, the EPA will also release new standards for power plants.
The upcoming proposal is another step the administration is taking to meet its Paris agreement commitment, which would require the United States to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2005 to 2030.
Additionally, the Biden administration aims to push for at least half of all new vehicles in the U.S. to be electric by 2030.
Dan Becker, director of the Center for Biological Diversity's Safe Climate Transport Campaign, told Bloomberg that the federal government needs to apply "continuous pressure for improvement."

Mandating of EVs starts
I hate everybody in the Bidet “administration”.
Brandon will ban the sale of gasoline in 2030 and afterwards.
What a joke,,,buy a Tesla and batteries wear out at 30k miles and costs $30k to replace,,,,,trade it off just before the batteries wear out and the car is worthless. Not saleable without a battery replacement.....economics of owning an EV does not add up,,,,,,a lose, lose situation.
Their step 2 is the ever faster destruction of the US. Complete societal collapse so the Marxists and communist can rebuilt their ideal society on the ruins is their real goal IMO.
The ignorance and misleading imagery in that image are mind-numbing.

Someone is pushing this sudden escalation to a civil war in our country. For they are doubling down on everything!
Soros? Someone else?
This is utter insanity. What the Republicans doing to protect us?
The EPA is a weapon against free Americans. It needs to be defunded and shuttered.
