US is easing vehicle emissions rules, timeline for all-electric vehicle adoption

They are not “easing” rules, they are imposing rules. The rules were eased from the proposed rule, but the rules are new.

While this might help in the short term, in the long term this is going to be detrimental to the US car industry by slowing their path to competitive EVs.

The Chinese are hungry and their EV industry is developing fast. Soon those cars are going to be sold in the US.
