California Pushes Ahead on EV Mandates as Detroit Automakers Reengage Regulators

Описание: While Washington has pulled back on electric vehicle mandates and emissions enforcement, California is moving in the opposite direction—and the nation’s largest automakers are paying close attention. This week, executives from the Detroit Three are sitting down with regulators from the California Air Resources Board, reopening a conversation that has become increasingly consequential for the future of the U.S. auto industry and your vehicle choices.

The meetings come at a pivotal moment. Congress has revoked California’s long-standing authority to set its own vehicle emissions standards, federal fuel economy rules have been weakened, and financial penalties for missing emissions targets have been eliminated. Yet California is signaling it has no intention of slowing its pursuit of zero-emission transportation.

Instead, the state is preparing to launch a $200 million electric vehicle incentive program designed to offset the loss of the federal $7,500 EV tax credit and keep pressure on automakers to electrify their fleets.
