US Raises Fuel Economy Rules, Impact on Car Affordability =============== #46175c50 ver:0.35 The US raises fuel economy rules, requiring two-thirds of new car sales to be electric or hybrid by 2032. Concerns arise about car affordability as prices increase to an average of $47,433. Automakers incur losses on EVs, leading to higher prices for gas-powered vehicles. Stricter emissions standards and inflation contribute to rising costs. Some experts call for policy change. Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finalizes tighter fuel economy rules, raising requirements to 50.4 mpg by 2031. Environmental groups criticize the rules, while automakers hail the decision.
