Biden’s auto dilemma: How hard to push for electric cars?

LA Times  

The Biden administration plans to write ambitious regulations that push vehicle electrification. Biden is expected to replace the weaker tailpipe emissions standards put in place by the Trump administration with new regulations modeled on California’s voluntary agreement with five automakers. DeCiccio, the University of Michigan professor, said the automakers’ arguments for looser standards in the short term to boost electric cars in the long run also didn’t compute. With millions of high-emitting vehicles likely to remain on the road for the next 15 to 20 years, DeCiccio said, “the electric car is barely relevant for significant greenhouse gas emissions for the next decade.” The White House hopes to accelerate the shift by offering more financial incentives and rebates to lower the cost of electric cars. “And I think that could drive the agreement.” Market analysts say that American drivers are unlikely to embrace electric cars as quickly as the White House and California regulators hope.
