A materials challenge ahead? Implications of the US EPA proposal for light-duty vehicle emission targets
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The US EPA has proposed ambitious regulations to tighten emissions standards for light duty vehicles for model years 2027 – 2032. The EPA projects that this will require 67% of US light duty vehicle sales to be battery electric vehicles by 2032. If fully implemented, the regulations would dramatically alter the path of US vehicle electrification over the next 10 – 15 years. In this Insight slide deck, we address the following: • Downside impact on US gasoline demand and the number of refineries threatened by this legislation • Required EV battery installations and gigafactory requirements • Issue of whether infrastructure needs can be met within the US and its Free Trade Agreement partners • Likelihood of this proposal being achieved (if passed in its current form)
