Has anyone noticed that Ford and GM have made commitments to EV just after the change of administration?
Given that the new administration has already committed to moving the Federal fleet to EVs and is going "all in" on full commitment to reducing emissions, this is positioning by the auto manufacturers.
There is also now alignment between the Californian emission standards and the Federal government, which means that there is going to be downward pressure on the auto manufacturers overall emission profile. CAFE standard excluded "trucks" which is why the F150 etc are the "best sellers". If there was a move to include them in the overall emission standards, the move to EV would be substantially accelerated.
Just like Shell and others in the oil/energy markets are realigning, so to are the primary manufacturers of emissions generating technology.
- mcot2 6y agoYes but at least Ford didn’t lobby against the California standards as heavily as GM did during the Trump years.
