Trump rolls back Biden-era electric vehicle mandate with new fuel efficiency standards
Donald Trump approves new US fuel efficiency standards, reversing an electric vehicle mandate introduced under Joe Biden's administration.
President Donald Trump has approved new fuel efficiency standards for the American auto industry, effectively reversing an electric vehicle mandate previously introduced by his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden. In a social media post, Trump declared that these new standards will eliminate waste and reduce costs for consumers, leading to lower prices and significant savings for families purchasing new, safe vehicles.
The Trump administration announced a few months ago that it would introduce less stringent fuel efficiency standards, reversing the previous administration's efforts to compel automakers to manufacture more fuel-efficient vehicles. Throughout Joe Biden's presidency, the US government had been promoting the expansion of electric vehicle production to comply with increasingly stringent fuel efficiency requirements.
