US Rolls Back Fuel Economy Standards in Shift on EV Policy
Original: US Guts Fuel Economy Standards in Push to Curb Biden EV Policies
The US has significantly weakened its vehicle fuel economy standards, a move framed as an effort to unwind Biden-era electric vehicle policies. The rollback eases requirements that would have pushed automakers to sell more electric cars, marking a major reversal in federal climate and transportation policy. The change affects automakers nationwide and is expected to draw criticism from environmental groups while easing pressure on car manufacturers.
Why now: It represents a major policy reversal on vehicle emissions and electric vehicle mandates under the current administration.
