US expected to declare Biden fuel economy rules exceeded legal authority
- In Washington, the US Transportation Department is anticipated to determine that the fuel economy standards established during President Biden’s administration overstepped legal boundaries by factoring in electric vehicles.
- This action follows longstanding Republican criticism and a planned interpretive rule stating that including electric vehicles in the standards exceeded governmental power.

- The expected declaration and related legislative proposals suggest a shift toward repealing stringent fuel efficiency and EV incentive rules, potentially altering automakers’ regulatory landscape.
