EPA's push for electric cars faces challenges from truckers and critics.

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed aggressive emissions standards that will slash the amount of pollution emitted from tailpipes to protect public health. The new standards would apply to model years 2027 through 2032, and most automakers would likely meet the new standards by accelerating the shift to EVs. In other news, Careem, the Middle East-based ride-hailing company that Uber bought in 2019, is spinning out its super app business into a new startup backed with $400 million from Emirates Telecommunications Group Company. Meanwhile, Aurora issued a prospectus for a proposed mixed shelf offering to raise $350 million, and California regulators are taking legal action against Tesla to force the company to comply with a state investigation into allegations of unlawful harassment of and discrimination against certain Black Tesla workers.
