• Trump’s EPA has removed penalties for missing CAFE targets and revoked state-level EV mandates such as California’s Advanced Clean Cars program.
• Stellantis will unveil a new gas-powered Dodge Charger Sixpack next week and is shifting investment away from electric models toward high-margin internal-combustion vehicles.
• Ford has shelved its planned three-row electric SUV and instead will manufacture large gas-engine trucks in Canada.
• The Big Three automakers—GM, Ford and Stellantis—will avoid nearly $10 billion in fuel-economy fines and regulatory credit costs under the revised rules.
