Electric vehicle sales in the U.S., for example, were <a href=\"http:\/\/insideevs.com\/almost-25000-evs-sold-as-december-2016-crushes-sales-records-in-the-us\/?platform=hootsuite\">up more than 50 percent<\/a> in the second half of 2016 (compared to 2015).<\/p>\n<p>Companies are also making these investments to stay competitive in a global race that will define the next chapter of mobility. GM, for example, had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greencarcongress.com\/2017\/01\/20170106-gmchina.html\">a third of its global sales<\/a> in China in 2016. China is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tychodefeijter\/2016\/07\/22\/and-the-boom-goes-on-chinas-electric-car-sales-up-162-in-h1\/#5c5056f11f19\">largest market worldwide<\/a> for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and if U.S. automakers want to be competitive there they will need to stay on the leading edge of the technology curve. Autotomy and electrification will be the hallmarks of this new, global chapter.<\/p>\n<p>By driving more investment in future offerings, the Clean Car Standards help position U.S. manufacturers to win this race at home and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>This perspective was recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/document?D=EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0827-6155\">voiced by the United Auto Workers<\/a>, which noted:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur competitors around the globe are working to strengthen environmental standards and it would be counterproductive to enact policies that provide disincentives for investing in advanced technologies and improving efficiency.
