The Trump administration’s decision to keep the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards at 34.9 mpg instead of 50.4 mpg will not only save you money, but also save the car industry from being forced to build purely hybrid or electric vehicles.
The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay discuss current CAFE standards and what they mean for car manufacturers and the eventual shift to EVs. While Melissa notes the potential demand for EVs for older people, Scott expands on the concerns of regulatory capture. Melissa and Scott also discuss the growing need for a simple, affordable, and repairable vehicle (and a business idea for Elon Musk, too!). Tune in to hear their discussion!
