#US tells #automakers they face no #fueleconomy penalties for last three years
Last year, #Stellantis paid $190.7 million in civil penalties for failing to meet fuel-economy targets for 2019 and 2020, and nearly $400 million for 2016 through 2019, Reuters noted. #GeneralMotors previously paid $128.2 million in penalties for 2016 and 2017. With no threat of penalties, automakers also have less incentive to buy compliance credits from other firms.

The image shows a car's infotainment screen displaying information about fuel economy. On the left side of the screen, there are touch buttons for "Home," "Audio," "Phone," and "Back." The main part of the screen shows a section titled "Average Fuel Economy" with two bar graphs. The "Current Drive" shows 35.0 miles per gallon (mpg), and the "Previous Drive" shows 34.8 mpg. The range is indicated as 131 miles. At the top of the screen, the time is displayed as 10:49, and there are icons for signal strength, Bluetooth, and temperature, which is 62 degrees.

Biden pulls back on tightened car and truck fuel standards
"Under the rule, formally known as the Corporate Average standards, all light-duty vehicles overall must meet an average of 50.4 mpg in 2031, down from 55.7 mpg in last year’s proposal. The current average is 39.1 mpg.

For SUVs and pickups, the requirement will be 45 mpg. That’s up from the 35.2 mpg they average now, but it’s less than the 52.2 mpg that the agency had proposed last year."

960km range

For a brief instance I saw that I had a 960km range with the car. It was brief because as soon as I accelerated above a certain speed the reading went down to a normal reading. It would have been nice to have such a long range for longer.

Automakers now feel blue
For they're dealing with fines that are due
From Biden's fuel rules
That leave them as fools
They said 'unfeasible' was its truth
The regulations generate no use
