They are indicators that the market for EVs is developing faster than anticipated even just last year.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the findings of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-07-06\/the-electric-car-revolution-is-accelerating\">a new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance<\/a>. It found that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[L]ithium-ion cell costs have already fallen by 73 percent since 2010.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The report updated its future cost projections to reflect further steep cost reductions in the years ahead, with a price per kilowatt-hour in 2025 of $109 and in 2030 of $73.<\/p>\n<p>Cost reductions on this order would result in EVs achieving cost parity with some classes of conventional vehicles by 2025 \u2013 and across most vehicle segments by 2029, according to the report. EV sales are expected to really take off once they achieve cost parity with conventional vehicles, as the vehicles are significantly less expensive to fuel and maintain.<\/p>\n<p>The acceleration in the EV market is great news for climate protection too. A recent assessment found that zero-emission vehicles, such as EVs, need to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/final_public_white_paper_post_2026_co2_reductions2.27_clean.pdf\">comprise 40 percent of new vehicles sold by 2030<\/a>\u00a0in order for the automotive sector to be on a path to achieve critical mid-century emissions targets. With the momentum in the EV market, we have a critical window to further boost this market by ensuring greater access of electric vehicles and a cleaner electric grid to power them.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the U.S. has not demonstrated the same appetite for national leadership on EVs as other countries. Even worse, we are going in the wrong direction \u2013 with serious implications for our health, climate and economy.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of leading, the Trump Administration is undermining critical clean air and climate protections including the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/media\/retreating-clean-cars-wrong-america\">landmark clean car standards for 2022 to 2025<\/a>.

This is further proof that the existing standards are highly achievable.
