  Even though the Biden-era rules don't mandate EVs or force buyers to adopt them, Trump's administration is doing everything possible to kneecap them.

In a recent development, former President Donald Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao, has labeled the current fuel economy standards as "illegal" and is advocating for their revision. This stance reflects the ongoing tension between environmental regulations and the automotive industry's interests. The fuel economy standards, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel efficiency, have been a contentious issue, with debates focusing on their economic impact on car manufacturers and consumers. Chao's push to revise these standards aligns with the Trump administration's broader efforts to roll back environmental regulations, arguing that they impose undue burdens on businesses. This move could potentially lead to changes in how fuel efficiency is regulated in the United States, affecting both the environment and the automotive market.
