Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody joined a coalition of state attorney generals to file suit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its new regulations on emissions for gas-powered passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty vehicles. Moody said the new rules impose “unworkable emissions standards.”
Moody also criticized the Biden-led Electric Vehicle Mandate on automobile manufacturers that require EV’s to account for nearly 70% of car sales in less than a decade. Based on the latest data from Kelley Blue Book, EV’s held a 7.6% share of the total U.S. vehicle market in 2023.
In an official statement, Moody warned that Biden’s push for 70% EVs hurts the American economy by threatening jobs, raising prices and undermining the reliability of the electric grid.
