US Sues California over Zero Emission Vehicle, Greenhouse Gas Rules
The Trump administration argues California's zero-emission vehicle mandates violate federal law and increase car costs, seeking a court order to block enforcement of these state rules.
- Thursday's filing escalated the dispute as the Trump administration sued California air regulators, arguing the state lacks authority to enforce vehicle-emission standards.
- California for decades sought EPA approval to set tougher auto-emissions rules; that waiver was revoked during Trump's first term and reinstated in 2022 under President Joe Biden.
- After last summer's federal block of California's 2035 ban, the state filed suit, and the California Air Resources Board said existing emissions standards would stay in place even if ambitious mandates were halted.
- Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's office blasted the lawsuit, noting it comes as gas prices climb and some drivers consider going electric, while Attorney General Pam Bondi said 'Oppressive, expensive electric vehicle mandates drive up costs for American consumers and violate federal law.'
- It cost Californians $5.37 a gallon on Thursday, with prices up about 56 cents statewide since last week, while the administration has moved to weaken Biden-era fuel-economy rules affecting automakers.
