Trump Slashes Fuel-Economy Standards in Blow to Climate and EV Market
Original: Trump Slashes Fuel-Economy Standards in Blow to Climate, Health, EV Market
The Trump administration has moved to sharply roll back US fuel-economy standards, weakening requirements that automakers improve gas mileage. Environmental groups say the change will increase emissions, worsen air quality and slow the shift to electric vehicles, while industry faces uncertainty over future efficiency rules. The decision is drawing criticism from climate and health advocates who see it as a major reversal of US climate policy.
Why now: The rollback of fuel-efficiency rules has major implications for climate policy, public health and the American electric vehicle market.
