Biden admin accelerating electric vehicle movement with new standards

The EPA is expected to announce new emissions standards tomorrow. The Biden administration wants to accelerate the green revolution by requiring that electric vehicles make up at least 54 percent of automakers’ new car sales by 2030, according to industry sources. NBC News’ Tom Costello shares more on the transition from gas to electric.

Also American's don't like being told what they can and cannot drive, own or buy by the government. They can keep these overpriced glorified golf carts rotting on the dealership lots, let the dealerships go thru the trouble of seeing how quickly even with nobody using them they experience battery drain and let them keep them long enough they'll need full battery pack replacement which is around $20,000 and cannot be performed by most mechanics or dealership service centers.

Electric car are fine except for those powered by batteries. If Joe Biden was truly interested in the environment. He should supporting and encouraging the development of Hydrogen and Hydrogen powered vehicals. Batteries pollute! Water doesn't.

[@zeldafan1515]

Or, now hear me out on this crazy idea. Invest in and work on making gas engines more efficient and closer to zero emissions. But I forgot, you can’t control people when you do that

[@MagnifiedGiant]

We have already done that. Vehicles aren't a problem. The left just syas things and gets away with lies constantly.

[@jeffpaxton9172]

The GEO metro back in the early 90s got 60 miles to the gallon so the technology is already here. If you just did away with the large thristy SUVs it would make a significant difference.

After ten years expect to buy a new battery....

[@thewatcher5822]

Battery life is only increasing and will soon outlive the car.

Worst energy crisis ever?

[@harmonymitcham2857]

The manufacturing of EV vehicles makes a huge carbon footprint, and the resources to charge these vehicles are non-renewable, they are no better than what we have now, just trendy with a huge price tag.

[@teebob21]

IGNORE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN THOUGH

[@thewatcher5822]

Over the lifetime if the vehicle EV's are by far the cleanest option. Wind and Solar are not called renewable for no reason.

[@theofficialbabatrolling]

😂😂 plug in hybrids are the future not ev’s because people will forget to plug their cars in at night

[@KTPurdy]

Tens of thousands of EV drivers today show that plugging in is a easy habit to get into.

[@joserios2155]

Power the future with electric car fix the problems we has are has usa

[@tonysmith1024]

Trump will stop this nonsense

[@igglybiggly6951]

Well the good news is this lame administration will be history in less than 2 years and hopefully we can regain some frigging sanity and shelf this rush to EV's
