We want to see Honda succeed, but its on-again, off-again approach to the EV revolution suggests it hasn't got a clue. Neither does Nissan. Together these two companies seem like swimmers caught in a riptide clinging desperately to each other as they try not to drown. In the end, they may end up dragging each other down, writes Steve Hanley. CleanTechnica

The Biden administration is preparing to roll out the toughest-ever limits on pollution from the nation's cars and light trucks after making changes likely to mollify some automakers. Emissions limits set to be finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency within days would propel electric vehicle sales well beyond current levels. The EPA has projected that to meet proposed mandates, electric models would need to make up roughly two-thirds of car and light truck sales in 2032 -- up from less than a tenth last year. Bloomberg

Former President Donald J. Trump says that his recent warning of a "blood bath" if he is not elected president in November was made in the context of electric vehicles and that he was not talking about political violence generally. But if discussing a type of automotive technology in bloody terms seems odd to some, it fits in the increasingly brutal language Mr. Trump has been applying to electric vehicles, one of his favorite foils.
