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."

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
Maybe Ted Cruz will scream at an EPA bureaucrat. Or the Republican National Committee will use this regulation to drum up more funds from the donor base. That's it.
Jim is right. I just donated. I usually wait until the last minute but sometimes we cut it too close.
“Proposed”
I other words. Forced.
Maybe we’ll end up looking like Cuba, with millions of exempt “classic” cars on the roads — kept running by cannibalizing junk yards & using black market mechanics?
That Omnibus bill and the Covid stimulus gave Biden wide authority to do this, as well as allowing him to require companies to abide by ESG standards.
Zhao must go, right now.
By legal means, mind you.
“What the Republicans doing to protect us?
Maybe Ted Cruz will scream at an EPA bureaucrat. Or the Republican National Committee will use this regulation to drum up more funds from the donor base. That’s it.”
Well, as we don’t have the Senate or the WH, what would you suggest? This fall we will have some new budget funding power, but McConnell and RINO’s locked in the budget for this year eliminating the ability to use funding as a cudgel. What’s your idea of what to do?
Yes, because they didn’t have the government forcing unwanted cars on the public like we do now.
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.
Just a game of winners and losers.
Your antique vehicle manufactured prior to the years listed just received gold/platinum status.
I’m getting tired of the emanations from the fake president.
It’s like wind chargers.
They went out of business when electricity began being generated by public utilities.
I believe the last freepathon only took three or four days from 90% to complete.
Obviously the first 90% is the problem.
Biden has no legitimate constitutional power to do this.
And the Supreme Court has already ruled against something like this.
But it won't matter. Big Auto the American people have already been cowed into compliance.
