New EV charging math:
15,000 miles annually
EV:
90% at home. 0 minutes.
10% fast chargers. 10 stops, 5-10 hrs. Often coincides with breaks/eating/multitasking.

Gas:
60 gas station trips. 15 minutes each (driving there, parking, fueling). 15 hrs.

You save time with an EV.

@anaunruhcohen @TIME Congratulations Ana. Very impressive and well deserved!

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

@kevinkircher @schroettnig @JigarShahDC @Stanford @uoregon Oops. I misstated that. The anticipated price has risen from $5 billion to $9 billion. Will be interesting to see how many get built.

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

@kevinkircher @schroettnig @JigarShahDC @Stanford @uoregon Purdue must be loaded! $5 to $9 BILLION even with IRA incentives. https://t.co/NSn3i5444v

@robbieorvis @MichaelWWara More on your point @robbieorvis https://t.co/vGcExF9Ptf

And globally, transportation amounted to more than 16% of emissions in 2016. https://t.co/ZmuBVVEpYX

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

Odd to see this ad on the day @EPA is proposing to reduce emissions from cars and trucks.
Reducing food waste is important, but the data does not support the statement that its emissions are greater than all transportation combined. @IBM

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

But in the US, transportation was 27% of 2020 emissions (a year with a lot less travel due to COVID). https://t.co/jJ29LNdIZr

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

In 2021 automakers endorsed 50% of all new cars being zero emission in 2030. Reportedly, this rule would call for 54% in 2030. What happened between 2021 and today? Enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act which included the largest incentives for EVs in US history.

[Matthew Daly @MatthewDalyWDC]

The EPA proposal, to be released Wed., would set GHG emissions limits for 2027-32 model years that are even stricter than goals the auto industry agreed to, calling for half of new car sales to be EVs by 2030.

It was great fun talking with @JodyFreemanHLS about this and thanks to @HarvardHBS! I have a new article on the Inflation Reduction Act out with @ELIORG @EnvLawReporter: https://t.co/trt9baED7F

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

This is an excellent piece on how the IRA will allow EPA to require more effective GHG controls under the Clean Air Act.

[Robinson Meyer @robinsonmeyer]

The Inflation Reduction Act famously uses many carrots—and almost no sticks—to reduce emissions.

But that’s not true of the federal government more broadly. The new law affirms and strengthens the EPA’s ability to crack down on carbon. I wrote about it:

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

Sens Carper, Schumer, Manchin, Speaker Pelosi & others in Congress deserve all the credit for the Inflation Reduction Act. Its a historic step to address climate change. They were helped by dozens of staffers including me. Thanks @JodyFreemanHLS for the opty to talk about the IRA

[HLS Environmental & Energy Law Program @HarvardEELP]

New CleanLaw! @JodyFreemanHLS & @1gregdotson chat about the IRA, which he helped negotiate, draft, and facilitate its passage. They discuss reconciliation and US GHG emissions in the near and not so near future, as the Act promotes cleaner tech innovation https://t.co/UOHkh1Hov2

[Greg Dotson @1gregdotson]

@JimOleske @jadler1969 @JimOleske has the perfect analogy. Sen Carper says correctly that now the CAA reflects Mass v EPA; Congress agrees that ghgs are pollutants. @jadler1969’s impolite tweet (which he should delete) insults anyone who thinks that that is worthwhile.
