Tailpipe pollution rules overview:
- Who: The Biden administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule for new tailpipe rules for passenger cars and vehicles.
- Why: The restrictions will lead to electric or hybrid as the majority of vehicles sold in the United States by 2032.
- Where: The tailpipe rules will affect drivers nationwide.
New tailpipe rules mean the majority of vehicles sold in the United States will be electric or hybrid by 2032.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Biden administration announced a final rule to gradually enact tailpipe pollution restrictions and push automakers toward electric and hybrid vehicles.
Auto dealers sold a record 1.2 million electric vehicles last year, making up 7.6% of U.S. auto sales, according to Kelley Blue Book. That’s up from 5.6% in 2022 but well short of the 56% target under the new regulation, The New York Times reports.
“Three years ago, I set an ambitious target: that half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 would be zero-emission,” President Joe Biden says in a statement, according to the Times. “Together, we’ve made historic progress. Hundreds of new expanded factories across the country. Hundreds of billions in private investment and thousands of good-paying union jobs. And we’ll meet my goal for 2030 and race forward in the years ahead.”
Rules mean more than half of vehicles sold in U.S. will be zero-emission by 2032
The EPA and administration will phase in the tailpipe pollution rules slower than initially proposed after pushback from automakers and labor unions, CNN reports.
The rules will also result in more than half of the new cars sold in the United States being zero-emissions vehicles by 2032, according to the New York Times.
The tailpipe rules will reduce 7 billion tons of carbon emissions and provide $13 billion in annual public health benefits along with $62 billion in reduced annual fuel costs, according to the EPA.
“With transportation as the largest source of U.S. climate emissions, these strongest-ever pollution standards for cars solidify America’s leadership in building a clean transportation future and creating good-paying American jobs, all while advancing President Biden’s historic climate agenda,” EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan says in a statement.
In November 2023, the Biden administration announced it would provide more than $192 million in funding for conservation efforts to restore land and water and invest in water resources and ecosystem health.

To what? This is an article!
Electric batteries blow up and set fires, more lives at stake, this is in an effort to get closer to a communistic government control and is an act done for Biden’s own inflated ego because he thinks he is a god. People can’t afford these cars and the electric companies will eventually ration the amount of electricity anyone person can draw in the claims of electricity shortages and in an effort to reduce brown outs and black outs. Can’t wait until November when he gets ousted!
NO.NO.NO
KEEP YOUR GAS CARS!!!!! I WON’T BE AT THE MERCY OF THE CORPORATION OF UNITED STATES OF WASHINGTON D.C.
No one wants these junkers that’s why they mandate it. They can be shut off on demand, you cannot repair them yourselves, batteries to be replaced every 10 years, and they can be shut OFF on demand depending on your carbon credits. Is this the future you people want? Better say something, lest your just angry. Oh, how’s the emf to the junk all day treating you?
Wake up, while these parasites fly monthly to Davis in order to figure out how to best control you.
I totally agree with you.
Yes I own an electric vehicle
