Trump Administration Rolls Back Fuel Economy Standards
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
The Trump administrations plan to lower fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks, aiming for thirty-four point five miles per gallon by two thousand thirty-one, has sparked controversy. This change reclassifies crossovers as cars and removes electric vehicle credit trading. The White House argues this will prevent a one thousand dollar price increase per vehicle, but new vehicle prices have already surged to over fifty thousand dollars. Despite this, hybrid vehicle sales are rising, and experts question the impact on new car prices. The move is seen as a challenge for future administrations to reinstate stricter standards, with some automakers shifting away from electric vehicles.
