States have the power to adopt historic clean car standards.
States are cutting out the gas pump and eliminating pollution that is harming our lungs and worsening drought, wildfires and smog - especially for vulnerable communities.
Automakers are already electrifying their vehicle offerings and consumers are on board. After record-breaking EV sales in 2022 and 2023, the electric vehicle market remains strong in early 2024. The Advanced Clean Cars II program meets the market where it's heading and will make sure more cleaner cars are available to help people get off the gasoline price rollercoaster while cleaning up our air. By adopting gradual electric car sales targets for automakers, states can deliver clear car benefits to their people.
STATES ARE EMBRACING CLEAN CARS
Eliminating pollution from cars is good for everyone.
Electric vehicles are pollution-free. Strong standards that put more electric vehicles on the road faster will protect public health, fight the climate crisis and create jobs.
States are leading the nation.
The Advanced Clean Cars program is a common-sense tool for states to cut climate and air pollution. State leaders should adopt it as soon as possible to start reaping the benefits of cleaner air and an economy that is less reliant on expensive fossil fuels.
