This week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new vehicle standards with updated limits on car and truck emissions. If adopted, the rules would include prioritizing electric vehicles (E.V.s) and mitigating climate change. While those are good goals, it's not clear if the auto industry will be able to pull them off on the government's timeline.
More to the point, while it's entirely inappropriate for the government to make such mandates, it also may hinder future progress on E.V. technology.
