The Biden administration is under heavy pressure to rescind or modify regulations targeting future vehicle fuel economy standards, which opponents argue are overly burdensome.
The Biden administration is facing an onslaught of opposition to its proposed fuel economy standards, which critics say would increase consumer costs and unfairly burden U.S. businesses. The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received more than 62,900 public comments related to the fuel economy regulations it issued in late July during its comment period, which ended Monday.
argued in its comment letter to NHTSA that, while it supports policies to lower drive greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, the proposed fuel economy standards would harm consumer choice, raise costs and create a non-resilient transport sector that is 'vulnerable to unexpected disruptions' since it would be dependent on electric vehicles.
has departed from Congressional intent and proposed standards that do not meet statutory requirements,' American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, another industry group, wrote in a comment letter. 'In particular, we believe that NHTSA exceeds its legal authority by setting the fuel economy standards at a level that is not feasibly achievable by internal combustion engine vehicles, effectively establishing a de facto electric vehicle mandate.
Our power grid — already stretched thin by increasing electrification across all sectors and other governmental action — could not handle the massive predicted uptick in EVs. And even if it could, we don’t have the supply chains to make that manufacturing increase feasible,' Morrisey and the other state attorneys general wrote. 'At a minimum, U.S. manufacturers will have no option but to become embroiled with geopolitically troubling suppliers,' they continued.
