A new report from NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council), Cleaner Cars, Fatter Wallets, demonstrates the broad benefits of federal incentives and tailpipe emission standards which will slash carbon pollution from vehicles by nearly 8 billion metric tons over the next three decades.
Cleaner Cars, Fatter Wallets compiles a wide range of data to show these benefits from the current policies:
- $6,000 lifetime savings for those buying a new vehicle in 2032;
- a surge in battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle sales, reaching 10 million by 2032 – 2.5 times what they would be without these policies;
- the reduction of nearly 8 billion tons of carbon emissions, more than the entire U.S. economy emits in a year.
