Testing by EPA and GM found some vehicles were emitting more than 10% higher carbon dioxide on average than originally claimed in the automaker’s compliance reports.

The FT and other media are reporting on the Biden administration giving carmakers an extra three years to meet EPA emissions targets.The revised rule lays out “technology neutral” scenarios in which manufacturers can produce a diverse range of advanced petrol engines, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles. The EPA conducted extensive public engagement receiving more than 250,000 written comments, concluding that the standards were technologically feasible and the costs of compliance reasonable for manufacturers.As first proposed, the rule would have forced carmakers to make two-thirds of their US models electric by 2032. The revised standards phase in over a six-year period. Starting in model year 2027, they aim to halve the emissions from light-duty vehicles by 2033 compared with the existing 2026 MY standards. #futuremobility #decarbonisation #netzero #automotiveindustry #angelinvesting #venturecapital #privateequityhttps://lnkd.in/e2gaKp2Q

The #EPA says Americans must triple their purchases of #BEVs in just three years. You might want to know why the EPA thinks Americans are going to rapidly change their minds about #electriccars--and why recent news merely indicates a "temporary misalignment" between supply and demand. The much-anticipated "Final Rule" from the EPA was issued today, and included the agency's asserted #scientific basis and #legal authority for forcing automakers to sell vehicles with a particular type of drivetrain. The EPA admits that the #CleanAirAct doesn't actually give them the authority to regulate what kind of #engine consumers have in their #car. However, it claims it can still regulate that indirectly through their authority on emissions. The EPA also admits that only about 8% of vehicles purchased recently were battery electric vehicles. That's less than one-third their aggressive 2027 regulatory target of 27%. What makes them believe that more than triple the Americans that bought EVs in 2024 will buy them in 2027? The answer to that today is the same as it was when I posted on the EPA preliminary rule a year ago: press releases and public statements by automakers and advocacy groups. That's right, press releases. Press releases from 2021 and 2022. What kind of science is the reading of press releases? That's a question that workers in the auto industry should be asking very seriously. --- As usual, I post links to the actual data where available.

The EPA rule on emissions puts the auto industry, and American consumers, on a forced march to electric vehicles. “It’s transparently a concession to the UAW and to others in states like Michigan that are concerned about a forced march to EVs that will result in big job losses,” Patrick Anderson, CEO of the East Lansing-based consulting firm Anderson Economic Group that has done work for automakers, said about the difference in the final rule. “They are rushing full speed ahead, regardless of all the doubts, regardless of all the difficulties, regardless of all the mounting evidence that consumers are not in a rush to replace their EVs." The administration, however, says the rules are technology-neutral and that combined with other legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure and Inflation Reduction acts that are investing in charging stations, domestic production of EVs and their batteries and consumer subsidies, the standards will fuel prosperity. Those kinds of changes are "irreversible," National Climate Adviser Ali Zaidi said following the news conference. "It's steel in the ground. It's a change that is not going to get rolled back." [The Detroit News article by Breana Noble: https://lnkd.in/eZnhHfGy] If you are wondering whether this is about science or politics, here are two easy ways to check: 1. Look at that stage. Do you see Tesla vehicles that represent the largest-selling electric cars--or vehicles from important electoral states like #Michigan and #Ohio? 2. Look at the Rule itself. As noted in my post linked below, the 1100+ page rule cites, as the alleged scientific basis for future production and market demand for electric vehicles, press releases. That's right, press releases. #politics #science #climate #electricvehicles #EPA #greenhousegases #emissions #autoindustry #automotive #freedom https://lnkd.in/e5hh5PiW

Is this why carmakers are retrieving from their #ev production plans? “When #carmakers test gasoline-powered #vehicles for compliance with the Transportation Department’s fuel-efficiency rules, they must use real values measured in a laboratory. By contrast, under an U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality or law. For exaggerating electric-car efficiency, the government rewards carmakers with compliance credits they can trade for cash. Economists estimate these credits could be worth billions: a vast cross-subsidy invented by bureaucrats and paid for by every person who buys a new gasoline-powered car. Until recently, this subsidy was a Washington secret. Carmakers and regulators liked it that way.” “The secret is out. After environmental groups [Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)] pointed out the illegality of this charade [in 2021], the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 multiplier for electric cars.” “Carmakers have panicked and asked the Biden administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. That is understandable. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable.”

The #automotive industry is under pressure to lower emissions and increase fuel #efficiency, without compromising #safety and #performance standards. Euro norms have traditionally controlled the amount of particles that a vehicle can release. With powertrains significantly improved over previous Euro 5 and 6, Euro 7 now addresses one of the main sources of fine particles remaining on a vehicle: brake parts. One key way (regarding to brake discs) to reduce these particles and extend brake discs life span is to apply a hard coating on brake discs, combining stainless steel and carbides.

Developing and investing in the deployment of climate technologies into the global energy transition
More #climatemath bringing us back to reality...EV proponents setting themselves up for a tough landing here... "At the heart of the issue is a little-known rule buried on page 36,987 of volume 65 in the Federal Register. Automakers must use actual values measured in a lab environment when testing gasoline-powered vehicles for compliance with the Transportation Department’s fuel-efficiency regulations. However, the Energy Department has a different set of rules for electric cars. According to this rule, carmakers are allowed to multiply the efficiency of electric cars by a factor of 6.67 arbitrarily. This means that a 2022 Tesla Model Y, for example, which tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory, is counted as having a compliance value of a staggering 430 mpg." https://lnkd.in/eJwJnz6w

US to soften tailpipe rules, slow EV transition through 2030. The Environmental Protection Agency in April 2023 proposed requiring a 56% reduction in new vehicle emissions by 2032. Under the initial EPA proposal covering 2027-2032, automakers were expected to aim for EVs to constitute 60% of their new vehicle production by 2030 and 67% by 2032 to meet stricter emissions requirements. Under the revised final regulation expected to be made public as soon as next month, the EPA will slow the pace of its proposed yearly emissions requirements through 2030. The new pace is expected to result in EVs accounting for less than 60% of total vehicles produced by 2030 https://lnkd.in/gr5bzM6M
