New GHG Emissions Standards For Vehicles — The Push For EVs Is On
how government experts in technology, chemistry, toxicology, and law at the lab have been working with engineers to dissemble and test the apparatus of Teslas, GMs, Volkswagens, and Nissans to determine the efficacy of existing technology — which can go the farthest and fastest; which is the sturdiest and most durable; and, which is equipped with the most affordable technology.
Experiments have included placing EV on giant treadmills and running them for a minimum of 12 hours to determine total miles per single charge capacity. After EVs have been heated to nearly 100 degrees, they’ve been frozen overnight — all in the quest to determine battery strength.The transition to EVs has the potential to displace thousands of auto workers, as EVs require fewer than half the number of workers to assemble than cars with ICE engines.
“We’re very mindful that this is a proposal, and we want to give as much flexibility possible,” Regan said. Labor unions are particularly concerned because many new EV plants and battery factories are being built in southern states that are politically hostile to unionized labor and where wages are relatively low. Southeastern states like Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee have a political culture that is historically dismissive of organized labor, and wages and benefits are typically lower than in unionized plants.
The Biden-Harris administration has spent more than a year offering incentives for industries to invest in clean energy. “Whether you measure today’s announcement by the dollars saved or the gallons reduced or the pollution that will no longer be pumped into the air, this is a win for the American people.”At least one American automaker, Tesla, is poised to emerge as an out-and-out winner under the new rules because it produces only EVs.
