What Do Biden's Electric Vehicle Goals Mean For You?
September 20, 2021
Back in August, President Biden signed an Executive Order setting a target that electric vehicles (EVs) will represent 50 percent of new car sales by 2030. The target would include battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles, which currently represent only 2 percent of new vehicle sales in the U.S. Biden is looking to win the global race on manufacturing, currently led by China and Europe. The program claims to have the ability to save about 200 billion gallons of gasoline and reduce around two billion metric tons of carbon pollution (click here to see how you stack up). For many Americans experiencing the impacts of climate change firsthand through flooding and wildfires, the switch to EVs seems like a smart choice for our future.
So what does this mean for us as Americans?
