Biden unveils latest attempt to kill off gas cars in bid to force all Americans to switch to EVs by 2032
SUMMARY
President Biden has revealed his latest effort to phase out gas-powered cars, aiming to transition all Americans to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2032. The plan includes stringent fuel efficiency standards for automakers, requiring passenger cars to average 65 miles per gallon by 2031 and doubling the efficiency of trucks. Despite criticism over slow progress in EV infrastructure and concerns about affordability and technology, Biden remains committed to his goal. Opposition from Republican-led states and skepticism among consumers pose challenges, but Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also defends the plan, citing 'environmental' and economic 'benefits'.
