An Electric Future: By 2023, Biden Wants 50% of Trucks and Car to be Hybrid or All-Electric

In a statement on August 5, President Biden said that “America must lead the world on clean and efficient cars and trucks. That means bolstering our domestic market by setting a goal that 50% of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles, including battery-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles. My Administration will prioritize setting clear standards, expanding key infrastructure, spurring critical innovation, and investing in the American autoworker. This will allow us to boost jobs — with good pay and benefits — across the United States along the full supply chain for the automotive sector, from parts and equipment manufacturing to final assembly.”
