"Biden Administration's Impact on Climate-Fighting Fuel Efficiency and Electric Cars"

The White House is set to weaken ambitious fuel efficiency regulations that aimed to significantly increase the adoption of electric vehicles by 2030, facing opposition from automakers, car dealers, and the United Auto Workers. The proposed Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations for 2027–2030, which aimed to require automakers to sell four times as many zero-emissions vehicles, are now expected to be issued with less ambitious goals due to fierce opposition. The new rules were praised by environmental organizations but criticized by the auto industry and the United Auto Workers, who claim the regulations would threaten jobs.
