No mention of CAFE standards? How can you write this article without mentioning the policy that incentivizes larger vehicles?

I'm excited that EVs get to avoid CAFE standards, so we get to have small vehicles again. Even though legacy domestic car manufacturers aren't going to be involved, as they practically wrote the CAFE standards that eliminated small vehicles, and there's bipartisan support to tariff EV imports out of existence, there's still enough market demand for multiple domestic startups.

		Unfortunately, we still get abominations like the GMC Hummer EV (~9000 lbs, classified as a class 3 medium duty truck). Rumor has it the model has been cancelled after 2026 luckily. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/11/driving-the-biggest-lea... https://www.torquenews.com/17998/i-leased-hummer-ev-because-...

No mention of the 1964 chicken tax either.
