Republicans push U.S. House bill to end EV mandates

U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg has reintroduced the CARS Act to prohibit federal mandates on electric vehicle sales and protect gas-powered vehicle sales from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency restrictions.
The CARS Act aims to amend the Clean Air Act to stop federal regulations that require the use of specific technologies in new motor vehicles.
Consumer demand for electric vehicles remains low, with only 8.1% of total automotive sales being electric in 2024, according to Cox Automotive.
Walberg emphasizes that consumer choice should guide the market transition to electric vehicles, rather than federal mandates.
