Low demand for electric cars: Joe Biden is putting the brakes on the end of combustion engines. US President Joe Biden wants to give car companies significantly more time to switch to e-mobility.
The required emissions limits for combustion engines should fall far less than originally planned by 2030 and only increase more strongly thereafter. Biden is also likely to want to score points in the election campaign - at the expense of climate protection, NGOs criticize. The effects of the planned easing can only be assessed once the regulations are in place.
