Thirteen Democratic attorneys general have sent a letter to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) asking for restored penalties for automakers failing to meet corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards for model years 2019-2021 vehicles.   CAFE standards regulate how far vehicles must be able to travel on a gallon of fuel, in a push to blame climate change on internal combustion vehicles and heavily favoring electric vehicles (EVs).   Specifically the letter asks NHTSA to reverse a rule put in place just before President Trump left office.  The rule reduced a 2016 penalty from $14 to $5.50 for every tenth of a mile-per-gallon that an automaker fell below the CAFE standards, beginning with model year 2019 vehicles.   Unsurprisingly, the band of AGs is led by California AG Rob Bonta and New York AG Letitia James.   “There is one thing we all know for sure: there’s no time left to waste in the fight against climate change,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Every year counts, and we can’t let anyone off the hook – particularly those companies that steadfastly refuse to do their part.”   The climate-change narrative was similarly echoed by Attorney General William Tong of Connecticut, who said, “ “Vehicle emissions are the single largest climate crisis driver in our state and across the nation, and we cannot afford free passes for those who ignore federal law.”   And because carbon credits are big business, it should also come as no surprise that EV giant Tesla is also pushing for stricter CAFE standards.  The company has excess regulatory credits, which it can effectively sell at a 100% profit to other automakers to help them meet government vehicle emissions requirements. CAFE standards increase the value of these credits.   Other major automakers have asked the court to reject Tesla’s request for stricter standards. “That Tesla might benefit from more certainty about the worth of the CAFE credits that it has amassed is hardly a reason to cut off an ongoing administrative process,” the group wrote in a court filing.   And all this pressure in favor of increased CAFE standards is only heightened by President Biden’s declaration that he wants half of all cars and trucks sold in the United States to be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030.   With big money, “progressive” elected officials, and the might of the Biden administration behind it, the battle against outdated and unnecessary CAFE mandates will be an uphill one.   You can help the fight by submitting your official comment.
