Great news if doable.
I do sympathize with auto manufacturers that need to redo their car designs & offerings, and re-work new assembly lines. Ten years isn't far away. But they've been moving towards this direction for a while now, so good to have an official target. Not too long ago they were complaining about increased gas mileage targets.
Article didn't mention the gas import reduction/savings. I'd like to know the projections.

The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to announce significant limits on tailpipe emissions this week that would require as much as 67% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2032 to be all-electric cars, according to a report by The New York Times Saturday.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan is expected to make the announcement in Detroit on Wednesday. The proposed limits would be the U.S.′ most aggressive climate regulations to date, and they would create a host of challenges for automakers.
Under the proposed limits, electric cars will represent between 54% and 60% of new cars sold in the U.S. by 2030, and between 64% to 67% of new cars by 2032, the Times report said. These figures are ambitious, as just 5.8% of cars sold in 2022 were electric, up from 3.2% in 2021, according to a report by Cox Automotive.
