The Biden Administration made several important clean vehicle policy announcements this month, including new fuel efficiency and emissions standards and an Executive Order setting a national target for electric vehicles to make up half of all new vehicle sales by 2030. Meanwhile, the Senate approved an infrastructure bill with $7.5 billion in spending for EV charging.

To meet President Biden’s target of cutting carbon emissions in half by 2030, the U.S. must redefine its approach to incentivizing the switch from gas-powered vehicles to EVs. Instead of applying the same incentive to all drivers regardless of how much gasoline they use, EV incentives should be calculated based on the amount of gasoline displaced by the purchase of an EV.
