Combined with Senate language in the pending budget bill to eliminate penalties for exceeding standards regulating how far vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel, automakers moving forward could come under less pressure from regulators to reduce their pollution. Ultimately, the nation’s use of electric vehicles could be slowed.

The moves align with the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to slash federal support for EVs. President Donald Trump has pledged to end what he has called an EV “mandate,” referring incorrectly to former President Joe Biden’s target for half of all new vehicle sales to be electric by 2030. EVs do not use gasoline or emit planet-warming greenhouse gases.

STOP DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT. THERE’S NOWHERE ELSE TO GO, YOU IDIOTS.

This not only hurts environment but also the consumer, as they are essentially gutting regulation that made car go further on a gallon of gasoline. This shows really well who they are working for.

This not only hurts environment and the consumer, but also “America first” manufacturers. I’m sure it’s great for shareholders to make more profit in the short term by sticking with older technologies the world is moving on from, but how can you sell that anywhere else? This just helps former global manufacturers lapse into irrelevant obsolescence
