President Donald Trump announced a major reset of federal fuel economy standards on Wednesday, rolling back Biden-era regulations that would have pushed automakers toward electric vehicles.
The move will save American families an average of $1,000 per new car purchase, the White House said. The policy reversal represents Trump’s latest effort to combat what he calls “hidden cost-of-living increases” from the previous administration. His reset of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards marks a significant victory for traditional automakers struggling to meet aggressive EV targets.
