Law's Victor Flatt explains fuel efficiency standards and affordability

Spectrum News: Victor Flatt, the Coleman P. Burke Chair in Environmental Law and associate director of the Burke Center for Environmental Law, explained that CAFE standards apply fleetwide, meaning gas and electric models offset each other. He said lowering standards may reduce sticker prices but ignores fuel and maintenance savings from EVs and risks slowing U.S. competitiveness as the rest of the world rapidly electrifies.
