ABC's Andy Field - August 5, 2021 - KRDO's Afternoon News

President Biden is set to announce actions this afternoon aimed at cutting climate-warming emissions from US cars and trucks. The president will sign an executive order that calls for half of all new car sales in the country to be EVs by 2030. The EO is a goal, however, not a mandate – and therefore not enforceable. General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and others) are on board with the plan, noting in a group statement that the goal can only be achieved “with the timely deployment” of the electric vehicle policies included in Biden’s infrastructure plan, which is currently working its way through Congress.
