Environmental groups applauded the move as well.
“We believe the ambitious electrification goals of the President-elect, California, and General Motors are aligned to address climate change by drastically reducing automobile emissions,” Barra said in the letter. “We are confident that the Biden administration, California, and the U.S. auto industry, which supports 10.3 million jobs, can collaboratively find the pathway that will deliver an all-electric future.”
The letter was sent to the leadership of groups including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Sierra Club, the Union of Concerned Scientists and Public Citizen.
“GM’s move is an important sign that automakers recognize that the transition to zero-emitting vehicles is well underway,” said Luke Tonachel, director for clean cars and clean fuels at NRDC, who called for other automakers to drop out of the suit. “If GM is going to live up to its promise of being part of the solution to our climate crisis, it must support ambitious, federal and state clean car standards – standards that will put us on the path to make all new passenger vehicles pollution-free by 2035.”
Wendy Wendlandt, acting president of Environment America, said by joining Ford, BMW, Honda, Volkswagen and others, GM was “driving toward the right side of history when it comes to the clean car standards.”
