EPA Announces New US Goals

📈The EPA has upgraded the already ambitious electrification plans of the White House.

Wednesday, the US Environmental Protection Agency is set to announce a goal of reaching a 60% electric vehicle market share by 2030 and 67% by 2032.

The updated goal also exceeds many automaker plans, leaving a portion of EV sales open to whoever finds a way to claim them. 🦛

🥊 "Everybody has a plan, till they get punched in the mouth." -Mike Tyson.

So where are automakers on their path to some sort of electric future? The answer is "various places, on various paths, with various end goals."

  • Honda says it will go zero emissions by 2040 with a 40% checkpoint by 2030 and an 80% goal by 2035. 
  • BMW has more than 10 new EVs coming by 2025
  • Ford says it will produce over 2M EVs per year by 2026 and electrify 50% of global sales by 2030. 
  • GM is going all-electric by 2035, but some of its brands have closer goals. 
  • Hyundai says it will be carbon neutral by 2045. 
  • Mercedes will be electric-only from 2025. 
  • Nissan says it will be carbon neutral across the life cycle of all its vehicles by 2050. 
  • Stellantis aims to join the EV market in 2025 but be all-electric by 2028.

Plans announced over the last few years may be upended by the new US guidance, and we will let you know as they change. 📣
