US shifts fuel-economy goals, de-emphases importance of electric cars
Relaxation of rules by Biden administration means easier fuel-economy-average targets in US.
The Biden government in the US has eased Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, making it simpler for car makers to hit 2030 targets without relying as heavily on electric vehicles.
CAFE standards assess the fuel-economy average of a manufacturer’s fleet, with electric cars also playing a major part in reducing the overall score.
The current target is a fleet average of 5.5 litres per 100km for passenger cars, and 7.6L/100km for SUVs and pick-ups.
Again - Australia doing the heavy lifting & bankrupting itself, pushing up prices on everything.....just to save the planet???
