U.S. President Joe Biden's administration intends to relax limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to move from gas-powered cars to EVs.
You mean like the palladium used in the catalytic converters installed in 100% of HEVs, PHEVs, and ICE vehicles (and not at all in BEVs?)? The palladium that is one of the rarest metals on earth? The same palladium where 40% of world supply comes from Russia?

You mean that kind of rare earth metal, right?
Yes that one. Far better used distributed in smaller batteries than being used by a few rich people.
Palladium isn’t used in batteries — it’s used in catalytic converters, which aren’t needed in EVs.
ICE vehicles use more rare earth metals over its lifetime than a typical BEV will use.
