In the United States, the stricter ejection requirements once set out by Obama have been off the table for several years. Tesla is now trying to change that through the courts.
The strict ejection requirements set up under former President Obama and associated fines for manufacturers have largely been reversed by former President Trump. That is a thorn in the side of Tesla as a manufacturer of electric cars. That is why the company is now trying to enforce through the courts that the Biden government put those original plans back into effect as soon as possible. This is evident from reports from Reuters.
Tesla, according to the news agency, believes that Trump acted in an unlawful manner and that his changes should therefore be reversed. This may mean that car manufacturers in the US will eventually have much stricter requirements on their roof and consequently high fines if they do not comply with them. Tesla wouldn’t be so keen to thwart more conventional competitors, but “this diminishes the value of performance-based incentives for electric vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla,” the company said.
The likelihood that Tesla catches bot is according to Reuters big. The Biden administration recently indicated that it wants to work on stricter ejection requirements and thus follow up Obama’s goal, but would not be open to a change enforced by the courts. One would also like to wait and see what appears from the investigation of the NHTSA transport authority into the actions of the Trump administration. The final results are expected in six months.
