Zero-Emission Vehicles Act: Cleaner Air and New Cars

This act aims to establish a national standard for zero-emission vehicles, meaning car manufacturers will gradually increase sales of electric and hydrogen cars. By 2035, all new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. must be zero-emission, leading to improved air quality and reduced pollution, positively impacting citizens' health and the environment.
Key points
Gradual increase in zero-emission vehicles: Starting in 2027, car manufacturers must sell more electric or hydrogen cars, reaching 100% by 2035.
Health and environmental benefits: Fewer emissions mean cleaner air, potentially reducing pollution-related illnesses and slowing climate change.
New economic opportunities: The development of zero-emission technologies could create new jobs and stimulate the economy.
Credit system for manufacturers: Manufacturers selling more zero-emission vehicles will receive special credits they can sell to other companies, encouraging innovation.
Infrastructure support: The act aims to support planning and investment in charging and hydrogen fueling stations, making it easier for citizens to use zero-emission vehicles.
