USA electric turn 2030 – Joe Biden has unveiled his grand ambitions to green the lagging American auto industry in the face of aggressive Chinese and European competitors.
He had lined up a few models of electric cars behind the White House. And he got behind the wheel of one of them, a plug-in hybrid Jeep (4xe).
Joe Biden came shortly before signing an executive order setting a target that by 2030 half of the cars sold in the United States be emission-free, that is, electric, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen.
USA electric shift 2030 – According to the International Energy Agency, in 2020 electric vehicles represented only 2% of new car sales in the United States – against 10% in Europe.
While the biggest obstacle is arguably convincing Americans to go electric, the next step now is to build a solid network of charging stations, the funding of which largely depends on the infrastructure plan.
Joe Biden also promises to strengthen again the regulations on fuel consumption, largely lightened under Donald Trump.
