Regulatory Update: EPA Announces Action to Terminate EV Mandate

On March 12, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Lee Zeldin announced that the agency will reconsider the “Model Year 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles” regulation and “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles.”

The EPA announced that the rule “takes away Americans’ ability to choose a safe and affordable car for their family and increases the cost of living on all products that trucks deliver.”

John Boesel, president and CEO, of Calstart, issued this statement:

“For decades, strong federal vehicle policies have been a critical driver to America’s leadership in the clean transportation industry. These policies have spurred game-changing economic opportunities and job growth for states, cities, and communities across the country.
