U.S. Electrification and Pollution Reduction Targets Are Too Ambitious, Say Toyota and Stellantis
• Toyota and Stellantis attack President Biden's auto pollution reduction plan as ‘too much, too fast’.

The two auto giants claim that the proposed emissions reductions goals for cars and light-duty trucks are overly optimistic and discriminate against plug-in hybrids.
To meet the limits, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency expects automakers to massively increase the market share of electric vehicles to 67 percent of new light-duty vehicle sales and 46 percent of new medium-duty vehicle sales by the 2032 model-year. The new plan even surpasses the initial goal set by President Joe Biden when he took office, namely that 50 percent of light-duty vehicles should be zero-emission by the end of the decade.
