Numerous trade associations are asking the Supreme Court to review a lower court\u2019s decision that effectively allowed California to push electric vehicles (EVs) on the rest of the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coalition of plaintiffs are asking the highest court in the land to take up a review of the D.C. Circuit\u2019s dismissal of a previous challenge against the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) approval of a California Air Resource Board (CARB) request to pursue tailpipe emissions standards that are more stringent than federal requirements. If the Supreme Court were to take the case and decide favorably for the plaintiffs, the ruling could potentially deal a serious blow to California\u2019s de facto ability to dictate emissions standards and force EVs on the rest of the country, a spokesperson for one of the involved trade associations suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are asking the Supreme Court to reverse the D.C. Circuit\u2019s erroneous holding that fuel providers lack \u2018standing\u2019 to challenge EPA\u2019s unlawful California waiver, and also to provide long overdue clarity on the authority of EPA and California to mandate electric vehicles,\u201d said Chet Thompson, AFPM\u2019s president and CEO. \u201cCalifornia is not a \u2018super state,\u2019 its Clean Air Act carveout does not give it special privileges to regulate greenhouse gas emissions standards or dictate what types of car and truck powertrains can be sold in this country. Authority of this magnitude rests with Congress.\u201d (RELATED: Biden Admin Weighs California\u2019s Latest Green Gambit That Could Set Off Chain Reaction Of Economic Pain)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
