“National Grid applauds President Biden’s executive order establishing a target that half of all vehicles sold in the United States<\/span> be electric by 2030 and proposed rules to restore and strengthen tailpipe emissions and fuel economy regulations. Electrifying transportation, which represents more than 40 percent of the Northeast’s greenhouse gas emissions, is the next great hurdle in realizing a net-zero future. A national effort will be crucial to developing the markets of scale and the networks necessary to support this transformation.<\/p>\n

We believe that charging availability is an essential link to achieving our decarbonization goals and EV deployment. National Grid will continue to collaborate with our government and industry partners and provide practical leadership towards reaching our shared net-zero commitments.” <\/p>\n

\n National Grid is committed to leading by example on electrifying transportation<\/b>
