Tesla has urged the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to focus on energy conservation and environmental impacts of fossil fuel use. The company wants to eliminate off-cycle credits from 2027 and suggests a stringent Corporate Average Fuel Economy proposal requiring carmakers to achieve an average of nearly 75 miles per gallon by 2032. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing automakers including Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Honda, and Toyota, has said that the NHTSA's proposal would result in manufacturers facing fines amounting to $14 billion.
