‘This notion that California or environmental groups get to decide what we drive is just crazy’

The Trump administration finalized new fuel economy standards Monday that it says end a Biden-era push to steer automakers toward electric vehicles.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the rule, which his department projects will cut the average price of a new vehicle by $1,300 and save Americans $138 billion over five years.
“Thanks to President [Donald] Trump’s leadership, we have finally ended the illegal mandate that forced automakers to produce more expensive electric vehicles that American families didn’t want,” Duffy said in his announcement.
