US President Biden wants 50% of cars sold in the United States in 2030 is made up of 100% electric, Plug-in hybrid or Fuel Cell models. Now only the signature of the executive order is awaited, which should take place today. In addition, new emission rules will be proposedof vehicles to reduce pollution valid until 2026. We therefore want to cancel the very & quot; soft & quot; regulations desired by Trump (there is talk of an annual efficiency improvement of 3.6 %). Biden firmer & agrave; also an executive order that will appoint & agrave; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop the rules to support its plan for 2030.
The goal of the American President & egrave; much less ambitious than that of the European Commission. In this regard, it is recalled that the proposal is; to ban the sale of new endothermic cars from 2035. In the United Kingdom , instead, this stop will come & agrave; even earlier, in 2030, even if the hybrids could be marketed until 2035. We will know about the American plan; much more in the evening today when Biden will speak; directly to illustrate it.

THE REACTIONS
Biden's 2030 target, not legally binding, already has; got the support from some major car manufacturers . Representatives from General Motors, Ford and Stellantis will also be present at the event where Biden illustrates & agrave; the proposals of the administration of him. There should also be other exponents of the automotive world. It seems, in this regard, that Tesla has not been invited .
At the same time as the announcement by the American President, General Motors, Ford and Stellantis have published a joint statement.
Today, Ford, GM and Stellantis announce their common aspiration to achieve 40-50% of annual U.S. sales volumes of electric vehicles (battery electric, fuel cell and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) by 2030 in order to bringing the nation closer to a zero-emission future in line with the Paris climate goals.
The three companies they then took the opportunity to remember their investment plans, underlining that the country's goal is only possible with & quot; timely implementation of the entire suite of electrification policies envisaged in the Build Back Better plan, including purchase incentives, a charging network sufficient to support vehicles, investment in research and development, and incentives to expand electric vehicle manufacturing and supply chains in the United States. ”
Translated, the transition will be; possible only with concrete government support . Support for the project & egrave; also arrived from BMW, Honda, Volkswagen, Ford and Volvo within a joint press release. Positive reaction also from the Hyundai Group and from Toyota.
Sar & agrave; therefore very interesting to find out the details of this plan. For the moment, we know that the president has pledged $ 174 billion in investments in the electric car sector. Of these, 100 billion dollars would be allocated to incentives of various kinds. Obviously, the proposals will then have to be discussed by Congress where different “resistances” are expected. Is not serious; said, therefore, that no changes can arrive.
It is not possible to do so. at the moment, to do other than wait for the announcements from the American President.
