Trump's EPA Is Targeting Key Vehicle Pollution Rules. What that Means for Carmakers
UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – The Environmental Protection Agency plan removes up to $7,500 EV tax credits and repeals fines for automakers missing fuel economy targets, reducing incentives for electric vehicles.
- The EPA announced on Tuesday its plan to relax vehicle tailpipe emission rules and revoke the 2009 finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health.
- This follows the early July tax law signing that repealed fines for automakers not meeting federal fuel economy standards and limited EV incentives.
- Without penalties, experts say automakers may reduce electric vehicle production and consumers could buy more gas-powered vehicles, increasing emissions.
- Ann Carlson called NHTSA's forgiveness of fines from 2022 onward a "stunning decision" and a windfall for companies avoiding more efficient cars.
- Despite near-term reductions, analyst Karl Brauer said automakers know administrations end and will continue developing EVs over time amid changing policies.
