The Department of Transportation yesterday announced a rule to reset Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, which the Biden administration had dialed up to absurd 51-miles-per-gallon requirements. That regulation would have forced families to buy EVs, because the new standards would have been impossible for internal combustion vehicles to meet.

Hooray! Now we can go back to allowing Americans to buy whatever car they want.

The New York Times didn’t take the news well.  But they inadvertently admitted that many electric vehicles can’t succeed in the market unless the competition is banned.
