Trump Campaign Blasts Biden’s New ‘Extreme Electric Vehicle Mandate,’ Promises ‘Day One’ Reversal
Former President Donald Trump is lighting up President Joe Biden after the release of restrictive new vehicle emission regulations designed to accelerate electric vehicle production.
Trump pledged to put the brakes on the Biden electric vehicle mandate “on Day One” of his administration if he wins the November presidential election.
The Biden administration and the Environmental Protection Agency announced the changes Wednesday, including “the most aggressive multi-pollutant emission standards ever finalized,” which are intended to force wider use of electric vehicles, Fox News reported.
The changes are geared toward drastically reducing the tailpipe emissions of new car and light trucks, beginning with the 2027 model year.
According to Fox News, Biden’s regulations would require nearly 70 percent of most new car purchases to be electric or hybrid by 2032.
