It wants to speed up EV adoption to fight climate change and reduce car companies’ dependence on Chinese products. The Biden administration is working at cross purposes in how it implements the IRA, states Bloomberg Green. There is so much new and happening and inspirational in the world of EVs! Many auto industry executives consider it a realistic goal. US President Joe Biden has set a national target for EVs to comprise half of all new vehicle sales by 2030. That’s because EVs have zero tailpipe emissions and are typically responsible for significantly fewer GHGs during operation. Over the lifetime of an EV, total GHG emissions associated with manufacturing, charging, and driving an EV are lower than the total GHGs associated with a gasoline car.
Reducing transportation emissions would be a notable step toward alleviating climate pollution. Cars and light-duty trucks (including pickups and SUVs) are responsible for 57.5% of transportation emissions.
The transportation sector is the largest source of US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 27.2% of the total. Marvelous! Fabulous! But - if there’s so much excitement about the federal investments in a zero emissions future, why are a whole lot of media outlets pessimistic? Are there really insurmountable obstacles to EV adoption, as some pundits claim? Transportation Emissions is a Huge Problem Can federal officials successfully pull off the transition to EVs? RMI states that, due to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ), the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the US is on the path to a range of technology transitions that could remold our economy to a clean energy future via mass EV adoption.
