💨 Abstract
The Department of Transportation, led by Secretary Sean Duffy, has announced plans to reverse Biden-era fuel economy standards, potentially easing regulatory pressure on automakers to reduce pollution. This move, coupled with proposed Senate legislation to eliminate penalties for failing to meet fuel efficiency standards, could slow the adoption of electric vehicles. The Biden administration's previous standards aimed for an average of about 50 miles per gallon by 2031.
