The Biden-Harris administration recently announced it will restore states’ authority to set stronger fuel efficiency standards than the federal government.
States also will be permitted to adopt the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) programs. These programs require automakers to sell ZEVs within that state, increasing the number of available electric vehicles.
Plug In America, an independent consumer organization advocating for the acceleration of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States, supports the administration’s decision.
“President Biden is making good on his word to clean up the air pollution from the transportation sector,” Joel Levin, Plug In America executive director, said. “This reversal of the illegal attack on state authority from the previous administration, coupled with the proposed investment into our electric transportation future with the American Jobs Plan, shows that our president is serious about our clean transportation future.”
A leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions is transportation. Strong fuel efficiency standards will improve public health, reduce the effects of climate change, get more Americans to buy clean electric vehicles, and clean up communities, Levin said.
Plug In America gathered petition signatures and issued numerous action alerts after the emissions standards were revoked by the Trump administration.
