Republican state AGs challenge new US fuel economy rules
==========
A group of 26 state attorneys general, led by West Virginia and Kentucky, have challenged the Biden administration's new fuel economy rules. The attorneys general argue that the rules are unworkable and would force automakers to build more electric vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently finalized tighter vehicle fuel economy rules through 2031, increasing the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) requirements to about 50.4 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2031. Republican state attorneys general and oil industry groups have challenged several regulatory efforts by the Biden administration to boost vehicle efficiency and increase electric vehicles. The lawsuit argues that the rule exceeds the agency's statutory authority and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not in accordance with the law. NHTSA did not immediately comment.
