EPA Regulation on Tailpipe Emissions

The Biden administration introduced new EPA regulations requiring 56% of new cars to be electric by 2032. Automakers are not banned from producing gas cars but must meet emissions limits by averaging electric or hybrid vehicles. These limits, starting in 2027, become stricter through 2032. Some automakers find relief in the extended implementation period, while others criticize the regulations as unrealistic.
