Totally agree - that's why the current administration stuck out such a wild ass number. I dont know the particular details, but it goes something like, each EV that gets sold, gets credit for something like 100mpg. So for auto manufacturers, the more normal corporate fleet sale average of around 30mph will average up to the target 54 with the addition of 100mph EV credits in a hurry. So they will work there asses off to come up with viable EVs to meet the ave to be allowed to sell vehicles. See, - a government force feed to industry. -- That is unless a Republican POTUS recinds the whole deal, which may be possible.
