- Trump administration on Monday finalized the rollback of a major fuel economy standard for cars and trucks, carried out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
- Critics say the rollback will cause more climate-warming pollution, human health problems, and higher fuel costs for consumers, and coverage frames the move as a blow to the EV market.
Why it matters: Consumers face higher fuel costs at a time when automakers receive relief from tightening efficiency rules, and the rollback delivers a direct blow to EV market growth by weakening the federal regulatory push toward electrification.
