The new rules will still be the strongest pollution standards for cars, according to the EPA. Detroit’s automakers and the United Auto Workers (UAW) lobbied the Biden administration to slow the implementation of the new emissions rules.
Consumer demand for EVs remains slow due to several issues including high prices, limited charging outlets and concerns over the reliability of the electric grid.
