For example, in late 2021, the Biden Administration issued an executive order mandating most federal government cars to be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035. Research shows that gasoline-powered cars and trucks accounted for over 80% of vehicle sales in the U.S. However, the tide is turning toward battery-electric cars.

The Truth About Cars

MARCH 21, 2024

First, some background from the New York Times : The rule increasingly limits the amount of pollution allowed from tailpipes over time so that, by 2032, more than half the new cars sold in the United States would most likely be zero-emissions vehicles in order for carmakers to meet the standards. It's just not.
