EPA ASSAULT ON TRUCKERS
FAST FACTS
- In March 2024, EPA announced finalized Phase 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for heavy-duty vehicles. The proposed emission standards would require 25% of new heavy trucks sold in the U.S. to be all-electric by 2032.
- $180,000 vs. $400,000: The approximate cost of a new diesel-powered heavy truck vs. the approximate cost of a new all-electric heavy truck.
- 15 minutes vs. 10 hours: Fueling time for a diesel truck vs. Charging time for an EV truck
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
- Professional drivers are skeptical of EV costs, mileage range, battery weight and safety, charging time, and availability.
- If the vehicles, charging infrastructure, and power are not available to comply with these unrealistic timelines, then regulators are setting trucking—and the American consumer—up for failure.
WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?
Legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate (S. J. Res. 74) and U.S. House of Representatives (H.J. Res. 133) would scrap the rule completely. Use this page to contact your lawmakers today!
