Biden slows his timeline for the shift to EVs in a compromise with unions concerned about jobs

• The EPA issued its strictest-ever tailpipe pollution limits for vehicles sold between 2027 and 2032.
• The rule is more lenient than originally proposed after the auto industry and unions expressed concerns over the tight timeline.
• Despite the delay, the new limits are expected to avoid the same amount of pollution long-term.

President Joe Biden is giving automakers more time to ramp up sales of electric vehicles, following pressure from the industry and labor unions concerned about a rapid transition to EVs.
