00:02The Trump administration sued California and Governor Gavin Newsom over the state's emissions
00:07goals.
00:07The Department of Transportation said California imposed an illegal electric vehicle mandate
00:12through state-specific mileage requirements.
00:15The agency said federal law prohibits states from adopting their own emissions standards.
00:20Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the administration will eliminate what he called
00:24a Biden-Butigich EV mandate and hold California accountable.
00:27Attorney General Pam Bondi said EV mandates increase costs and violate federal law.
00:33NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison said the lawsuit would allow automakers to follow
00:38one federal fuel economy regulation.
00:40The dispute comes as California expands EV incentives and reports more than 2.5 million electron
00:46volt sales since 2019, while Trump relaxes federal fuel economy standards.
