Vermont and Washington, DC are not included in this rule because they do not have fossil fuel-fired power plants. EPA is using four “building blocks” to determine state-specific goals: Reducing the carbon intensity of generation at individual affected electric generating units (EGUs) through heat-rate improvements. Economic impact.

For the transportation sector, electrification means replacing fossil fuels with electricity as the means of powering light-duty vehicles, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and buses. Sounds simple, but it’s more complicated than just replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs).
