SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

Arguments could be made that today’s federal standards represent de facto bans by how heavily they incentivize electric vehicles while punishing automakers for building modestly sized, economical models that burn gasoline. Furthermore, the EPA cannot legally issue a formal ban on combustion vehicles.
