Trump Promises to Stop All Electric Car Sales

Trump Promises to Stop , All Electric Car Sales. In an effort to be reelected as President of the Unites States. Trump is promising oil and gas execs that he'll keep electric vehicles (EVs) from being sold in the U.S. if they make significant donations to his campaign, Gizmodo reports. . Trump said that he'd lower tailpipe emissions targets and cut EV tax credits, among other things. . "You won't be able to sell those cars," Trump said. However, the EV market continues to grow, with at least 1.5 million units expected to sell in 2024.

Although, his tactics could prove to slow those sales dramatically. . Ford Motor executive chair William Clay Ford Jr. weighed in on Trump's promises. Our time frame as a company, our planning time frame, is a lot longer than election cycles, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement.

Ford Orders Recall Over Potential SUV Gas Leak

Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak. ABC reports that Ford has ordered a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs due to a potential risk of fire. . The recall impacts some Bronco Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023, as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. . According to Ford, gasoline can leak from fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces, which increases the risk of starting fires. The recall does not reportedly include repairing any potential fuel leak, which the company claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs. ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.". Brooks claims that even a 1% failure rate is high and places drivers at potential risk for a crash. The NHTSA said that it lacks legal authority to pre-approve recall fixes. . The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.". However, Brooks suggests that Congress needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.”. That is a post-remedy inquiry that won't make the fixes better, and further stretches out the process and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, via ABC
