Put GHG car standards under DOT lead; include EV lifecycle impacts; stop ICAO ratchets
Mandate wants GHG vehicle standards under DOT leadership considering cost/choice/safety/security, review of ramp rates, inclusion of EV lifecycle emissions/impacts, and stopping ICAO-driven airplane standard increases, plus reconsidering Cleaner Trucks Initiative burdens.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 13 (EPA) — Mobile sources: establish GHG car standards under DOT leadership properly considering cost, choice, safety, and national security; review existing ramp rate for achievability; include life cycle emissions of EVs and all environmental impacts; stop use of ICAO to increase airplane standards; reconsider Cleaner Trucks Initiative to cut emissions without significant costs/complex burdens.
Undo plan
1) Coordinate EPA–DOT standards lawfully under Energy Policy and Conservation Act/CAA.
2) Include full lifecycle analysis for EVs and combustion vehicles symmetrically.
3) Maintain aircraft engine standards consistent with safety and international obligations.
4) Set truck NOx rules that are achievable with lead time.
5) Verify: vehicle prices, safety ratings, and criteria emissions.
