What's REALLY Going on with Trump's EV Mandate Reversal?

Lauren Fix breaks down President Trump’s reversal of California’s EV mandates.

President Donald Trump signed three Congressional Review Acts (CRAs), effectively reversing California’s EV mandates and restoring greater consumer choice nationwide. In today’s episode of CBT Now, Lauren Fix, an automotive expert and founder of Car Coach Reports, joins the conversation to explain why the move is a significant win for consumer choice, as well as for car dealers and manufacturers alike.

Fix credits three key figures for spearheading the effort: Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Their combined efforts pushed the resolution through both chambers of Congress, where it received bipartisan support.

The Congressional Review Act (CRA) enables Congress to review and overturn final rules issued by federal agencies. Once it successfully passes through Congress and is signed by the president, the rule is nullified and cannot be reissued in a similar form.

The $7,500 federal EV tax credit is set to expire at the end of the year, along with the $1,250 charging credit and the $4,000 credit on used EVs. In addition, a $250 annual EV fee will be introduced to help fund road and bridge infrastructure.
