He added that the administration will “deliver” on the promise of affordable cars to Americans.\nMeanwhile, the DOJ, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, also criticized the California government. “Oppressive, expensive electric vehicle mandates drive up costs for American consumers and violate federal law,” she said in the statement released by the department on Thursday.\nOn the other hand, NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison also hailed the lawsuit. “This litigation will help automakers design and produce cars and trucks to meet one federal fuel economy regulation,” he said, adding that the previous Barack Obama and Joe Biden administrations were mistaken to “enable California to set its own backdoor fuel economy policies.”\nHowever, gasoline prices in the U.S. have risen. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed the conflict in Iran, adding that the war would hit Americans hard at the pump.\nCheck out more of Benzinga’s Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link.\nPhoto courtesy: Sheila Fitzgerald / Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2619316330","isCrawlerRequest":true}
