Washington, D.C. - President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to hand down new vehicle emission standards forcing electric vehicles to make up at least 54 percent of new car sales by 2030 and as much as 66 percent by 2032. The new EPA rules, which were not approved by Congress, are handed down as a recent poll found 58 percent of Americans say they don’t plan to buy an EV for their next car.

“Biden’s newest power grab is the latest attempt to force a green agenda on an unwilling electorate in order to reward his eco-extremist supporters,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. “Despite massive tax breaks and flattering coverage in the media, EVs simply cannot compete in the free market. If Joe Biden is going to force Americans to give up their preferred mode of transportation, Congress should mandate the White House and every member of the Biden Administration drive EVs exclusively and immediately.”

The EPA ruling comes just over a year since the White House declined to answer if President Biden personally owned an EV. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average price of an electric vehicle was $61,488 in 2022.
