WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, issued the following statement after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a proposal to revise Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards:

“The Trump Administration’s announcement today repeals yet another far-left electric vehicle mandate imposed by the Department of Transportation under the failed leadership of the Biden-Harris Administration. Americans—not politicians—should pick the car they want to drive,” said Chairman Guthrie. “Throughout this Congress, both through the Working Families Tax Cuts and Congressional Review Act resolutions, Energy and Commerce Republicans have fought to ensure that EV mandates are not allowed to inflict crushing burdens on hard-working American families. I appreciate the agency’s decision to reject government mandates and put the pocketbooks and the safety of Americans first.”
