How many miles a week do you drive?

I'm ready for an electric vehicle future!
Here’s a fun fact for you, John.
According to the U.S. DOT American drivers travel about 260 miles a week or about 37 miles per day. In 2021, the average range for EVs was 234 miles and over the years it’s increased to roughly 290 miles. Meaning, on one full charge, you can do an entire week's worth of driving.
With the amount of money going into researching zero emission vehicle technology, along with investments in charging stations and tax credits to buy both new and used electric vehicles, we’re already well on our way to making tailpipe pollution a thing of the past.
But we have a chance to speed it up. The EPA has proposed new vehicle emissions standards for light duty and medium duty vehicles that could lead to two-thirds of all new light duty passenger vehicles being zero emission by 2032. Be a part of the zero emission vehicle future by submitting a public comment in support of this rule today! [link removed]

The transportation sector is the U.S.’s largest source of climate pollution and passenger vehicles make up 57% of that. Plus, cars and trucks are a leading cause of smog and other health-harming air pollution. I’m sure you’ve noticed the fumes when walking in high-traffic areas like along busy roads, underneath overpasses or even when looking over a downtown skyline.
We need cleaner roadways to protect our air, our health and our climate. This means we need to tackle tailpipe pollution in all forms — especially in our personal vehicles. That’s why EPA’s latest proposal is so important. If approved, EPA’s new emission standards could lead to at least two-thirds of all new light duty passenger vehicles being zero-emission by 2032!
With tax credits for buying electric vehicles and money set aside for EV infrastructure, we are closer than ever to a future free of tailpipe pollution.
Send a comment to the EPA saying you’re excited about the future of zero emission vehicles and you want them to implement a strong light and medium duty vehicle rule to make it happen. [link removed]
