The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency noted that the agency is trying to roll back auto emissions rules from the Biden administration. Current regulations have forced automakers to build more and more electric vehicles. Previously, the Trump administration had canceled the programmatic goal of "making electric vehicles account for 50% of the U.S. new car market by 2030."
The Environmental Protection Agency said it would reconsider the vehicle exhaust emissions regulations set by the agency in 2024, which is to "reduce passenger vehicle exhaust emissions by nearly 50% by 2032 compared with 2027 levels." To achieve this goal, it means that electric vehicles must account for 35% to 56% of new cars sold between 2030 and 2032.
The Biden administration has previously introduced strict tailpipe emissions limits to control pollution from cars and light trucks in the United States.
The corresponding move is mainly to promote the sales of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles of automakers and to bearish the price of oil.
However, as Trump came to power, he promoted increasing oil production, and then showed disdain for new energy vehicles. In fact, this also highlighted that protecting the environment is no longer the top concern of the United States, and petrochemical fuels (petroleum) are king.
It should be noted that the Paris Agreement proposes that all parties strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change (signed by nearly 200 countries and regions), control the increase in global average temperature within 2 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial levels, and strive to control the temperature rise within 1.5 degrees Celsius; the world will reach the peak of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible and achieve net-zero emissions in the second half of this century.
Now that the United States has withdrawn from the above-mentioned agreement, it basically expresses its attitude.
