With the help of @SecGranholm and @SecretaryPete, I laid out a goal of building a Made-in-America electric vehicle charging network of 500,000 chargers on highways and in communities by 2030. Today's actions get us closer to finishing the job and winning the global EV market.

Today, the Administration announced new standards to ensure that electric vehicle charging funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is convenient, reliable, and Made-in-America. Keeping America on path to net-zero emissions by 2050 and creating good-paying jobs along the way.

The fossil fuel industry is feasting on subsidies & windfall profits while household budgets shrink & our planet burns. We need to hold the industry and its enablers to account. At #UNGA, I call on all developed economies to tax the windfall profits of fossil fuel companies.

The only argument is, electric cars are more efficient, more sustainable and less damaging over their lifetime than any combustion car ever was or can be. Electric vehicles are simply a better technology, not perfect, but a massive step up from old combustion technology.

We’re delighted that EU governments have backed a plan for 100% sales of zero-tailpipe-emission cars by 2035 - reflecting our own aims. Time now to focus on rolling out charging points and clean energy to make sure this is delivered!
