The Transportation Department is expected to declare that fuel economy rules issued under then-President Joe Biden exceeded the government's legal authority by including electric vehicles in setting the rules, automaker officials said Monday.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is expected to declare that the Biden administration's fuel economy rules, set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), exceeded the agency's legal authority. These rules, which aimed to increase Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to 55 miles per gallon by 2032, were criticized by Republican lawmakers and the automotive industry for being overly stringent. The anticipated declaration follows a review initiated by a Congressional Review Act resolution passed by House Republicans, which argued that the NHTSA overstepped its bounds. This move could potentially lead to a reevaluation or modification of the fuel economy standards, impacting future vehicle efficiency regulations and environmental goals.
