CARS Act In The Senate
(Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act)
Earlier this year, Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho introduced the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act (CARS Act). This bill is similar to legislation that Congressman Tim Walberg introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The focus of the bill is the protection of the internal combustion engine. It does this in two ways. First, the bill prohibits the use of authority under the Clean Air Act to issue regulations that mandate the use of any specific technology or regulations that limit the availability of new motor vehicles based on that vehicle’s engine type. Second, the legislation requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update any regulations that result in the limited availability of new vehicles based on that vehicle’s engine.
The legislation would overturn a 2024 EPA rule, which currently would result in about 56% of new vehicles sold between 2030 and 2032 having to be electric.
Currently, the bill has 23 Senate cosponsors, but we need to improve that number! If you want to save the internal combustion engine, ask your Senator to cosponsor S. 995.
