The Biden administration has introduced new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations aimed at reducing emissions from passenger vehicles.

The regulations aim to increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles.

Transportation is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in the United States.

The new regulations are expected to result in substantial reductions in carbon emissions and other pollutants over the next few decades.
