The Biden administration just proposed hitting the accelerator on the transition to electric vehicles. To comply, automakers would have to significantly increase the number of electric vehicles they produce over the next decade. Last year, about 6% of passenger cars and trucks sold were electric. The proposed emission limits are so strict, the EPA expects that about 67% of passenger vehicles sold by 2032 would be electric in order to meet the standards. But that doesn’t mean the EPA should wait for all problems to be solved before pressing ahead with aggressive vehicle emissions standards.
