NHTSA Urged to Maintain Fuel Economy Standards
- •A coalition of health, consumer, and environmental groups is urging NHTSA to maintain stringent fuel economy standards, opposing a proposed plan to weaken them for cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks.
- •The outcome of this regulatory debate will directly influence the pace of vehicle electrification across the U.S. transportation sector.
- •Maintaining strict standards would likely accelerate EV adoption, increasing future electricity demand and the need for expanded charging infrastructure and grid capacity, which is critical for power developers and large power consumers.
