The EPA in April proposed 2027-2032 vehicle standards that would cut emissions by 56% and result in an estimated 60% of new vehicles by 2030 being electric and 67% by 2032. Tesla said in comments made public Friday it wants the EPA to adopt a tougher plan that would ensure more than 69% of vehicles in 2032 are EVs.
Tesla added it believes the EPA could require an end to gasoline-powered vehicles as early as 2030 and added there is "sound legal basis for an even more stringent set of standards than EPA’s current proposal." Tesla also said it believes the EPA's "cost assumptions are far too high and are not supported by the record, in that they do not fully consider the documented and projected rapid decline in battery cell and pack costs, as well the significant BEV range increases achieved through other efficiencies."
Last week, a trade group representing nearly all major automakers except Tesla urged the EPA soften its proposal, saying it is "neither reasonable nor achievable".
