More fundamentally, this will mean fewer EVs and hybrids on dealer lots in the near term.

Companies are not going to be under the same pressure to make cleaner vehicles that they were under strict Biden-era EPA emissions rules.

For carmakers, this doesn't necessarily change their long-term plans because, one, they know that regulations could change again under a different administration, right?

And globally, you know, they sell cars worldwide.

Other countries still have emissions rules.

They also have to compete with Chinese EVs.

And a lot of executives still say that EVs are the future.

But in the near term...

They can sell as many big gas and diesel trucks and SUVs as they want with no penalty.

Trump also says that this will save Americans a lot of money.

EVs are expensive.

But third-party analyses say that this change will actually cost drivers because we will collectively buy more gasoline.

Well, big cars and trucks are very profitable.

So rolling back these rules is a boost to bottom lines.

It's actually partially offsetting the billions of dollars that companies are paying in tariffs.

And a lot of companies had been warning that these Biden-era rules were simply not realistic.

that EV sales in the US were not growing fast enough, even with incentives in place, to meet those targets.

So the traditional automakers wanted easier rules, for sure.

But eliminating the regulations entirely, arguing that the EPA doesn't even have the right to regulate them, that is farther than the industry wanted to go.

And that's because a huge legal battle means a ton of uncertainty.
