The federal government on Friday revealed vehicle efficiency standards for 2027-2031 that improve the fleet fuel efficiency of new cars and trucks—slightly. Softer on trucks, fewer EVs, and about 38 mpg by 2032 The easing of it all would mean a real-world fleet efficiency average of about 38 mpg, according to the agency—way down from 43.5
"Automakers get it this time, calling for up to a 40% increase to 35 mpg by 2022, the first increase since 1985.

Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles lose efficiency when they tow by getting fewer miles per gallon (mpg), but the loss is worse for EVs. That said, the autoindustry has the potential to significantly transform if EV towing capacity catches up to ICE towing. first appeared on Clean Fleet Report.
This shift is likely to have a lasting impact on the autoindustry, as manufacturers scramble to meet the changing demands of the marketplace. The post The Impact of Gas Price Trends on Vehicle Choice first appeared on Clean Fleet Report.
Electric Cars and The Volt Can Transform America and the AutoIndustry TODAY!!! EvolveElectric cars, plug-in hybrids and hybrids are the solutions for revolutionizing the autoindustry. In addition, I am finalizing the manuscript for Build Your Own Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle. So, what is there to do?
The Renault-Nissan Alliance is building fleet charging stations in Portland and Phoenix. We have those…they are readily available in our own domestic fleet. A car that gets 60 mpg still burns 17 gallons of gas every 1,000 miles versus a car that gets 21 mpg using E85 (my Chevy Impala) that burns 7.1 aren’t there yet.
