This is a historic opportunity to make progress. The future of transportation is electric. The technology is ready today — every major truck, bus and car manufacturer is already developing or investing in all-electric, zero-emission vehicles.
And just a couple of weeks ago, General Motors announced plans to embrace an all-electric future by aspiring to produce only zero emitting passenger cars, vans and sport utility vehicles by 2035.
With bold executive action, the Biden-Harris administration can accelerate the electric vehicle revolution. Among other things, this will:
- Slash climate pollution and other harmful emissions,
- Protect our communities — particularly communities of color and lower-income communities, who are disproportionately exposed to transportation pollution due to a historic legacy of disenfranchisement and structural inequity, and
- Create more than one million jobs, boost our domestic manufacturing base and make American businesses more globally competitive.
We are setting the ambitious and achievable goal of ensuring all new cars will be zero polluting by 2035, and all new trucks and buses to be zero polluting by 2040.
But we need your help to deliver this message.
Please send the Biden-Harris administration an email today urging them to go big on electric vehicle executive action!
Thank you for your activism and support,
