Michael Regan, an EPA administrator, told CNN on Wednesday that there would be "absolutely no punishment" for anyone who doesn't buy an electric vehicle.
"Absolutely no punishment, Sara. Listen, we’re thinking out for the future. This proposed technology standards for automobiles, it doesn’t kick in until model year 2027 and beyond, so what we’re looking at is a ramp up period. We know that in the next couple of years, we’re going to see automobile manufacturers offer a suite of products that will be attractive to consumers. We know that we’ll see charging stations all across this country so that we can reduce that range anxiety and those who are concerned about where they can charge and people will have a number of years that they can take advantage of these tax credits, and so we’re going to see a massive build up over the next couple of years," he said.
