Last week, President Biden signed an executive order calling on electric, fuel-cell and plug-in hybrids sales to account for 50% of all car and light truck sales by 2030. Transport accounts for about 29% of greenhouse-gas emissions in the US and therefore EVs are a key part of Biden’s climate agenda.
EVs currently account for only about 3% of sales, per WSJ, and auto makers say they would need billions of dollars in funding for a network of EV charging stations and tax incentives to consumers, among other measures, in order to meet the sales target.
The current $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill has $7.5 billion in EV charging infrastructure funding. Major auto makers are already making big investments in developing EVs and batteries.
Even though EV sales are a very small part of the overall market, they have been increasing at a much faster pace. Sales of plug-in vehicles more than doubled in the first half of 2021 compared with last year, per WSJ. Many analysts expect this trend to continue as battery costs continue to rapidly decline.
