The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.
This isn’t aimed at just American manufacturers (Tesla, GM, Ford) but all vehicles sold in the US.
Sure, but with almost no exceptions, the popular cars with the worst mileage are American ones.
Most other rich countries have much more ambitious plans that include phasing out fossil fuel only cars COMPLETELY, and are able to do so because their politicians don’t have to kowtow to the intertwined interests of their owner donors from Big Oil and Detroit.
People always seem to resort to “American protectionism” and other falsehoods when discussing stuff like this
Because it’s NOT a falsehood. See above.
People just don’t like them 🤷♂️
Most of the folks who want an EV and who can live with an EV already have one. It’s not the politicians preventing people from buying.

None of that is true.
It’s not the politicians preventing people from buying.
No, they’re just enabling the people who are making it less viable in exchange for bribes.
Until range and recharge time can complete with ICE vehicles, EVs will continue to be viable basically in the cities only. The USA is massive.
Okay, EV sales are hitting a plateau just as they become competitive and viable with ICE, because people love them. Whatever you say.
I’m a car guy, and I’d like to have one. I’m waiting for someone to make one fast and affordable like a tesla only not a tesla because elon is a d-bag. If he gets kicked out of the company, I’ll buy one the next day.
What fast and affordable levels are you looking for? I assume we’re talking Tesla dual motor fast and a budget of 55k? What’s wrong with the ionic?
