General Motors (GM) has expressed concern over being able to meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently proposed emissions standards, according to Green Car Reports.
As originally reported by Reuters, GM left comments with the EPA voicing doubt as to whether or not it would be possible for them to keep up with the agency’s new goal of 60% in new EV sales by 2030.
In its comments, GM claimed that there are six federal and state regulations that “could require each automaker to exceed 50% EVs in at least a dozen vehicle averaging sets in the approximate 2030 timeframe.”
GM expressed support for the original goal outlined by President Biden of EVs or plug-in hybrids making up 50% of new vehicle sales.
“Either a potential lack of clarity or a lack of coordination across the agencies may hinder an automaker’s ability to remain in compliance, year-after-year, across each of these regulatory programs even while meeting EPA’s overall EV targets,” the automaker wrote.
