US to soften tailpipe rules, slow EV transition through 2030By David ShepardsonWASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is set to ease proposed yearly requirements through 2030 of its sweeping plan to aggressively cut tailpipe emissions and ramp up electric vehicle sales, two sources told Reuters on Sunday. Automakers and the United Auto Workers had urged the Biden administration to slow the proposed ramp-up in EV sales. Under the revised final regulation expected to be made public as soon as next month, the EPA will slow the pace of its proposed yearly emissions requirements through 2030. The New York Times reported the EPA plans earlier and said the revised proposal ramps up requirements from 2030 through 2032. The Energy Department sent its revised proposal for final rules to the White House for review on Feb. 9.
