Over 150 Republicans in the U.S. House wrote a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan asking for their proposed emissions standards to be reconsidered, the Detroit News reports.

The letter was composed by a group led by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington. 

In it, they claim that the proposed standards should be reconsidered because they are “unworkable and impractical” and that the Chinese government would benefit from its domination in the mineral supply chain for EV batteries. They also claim that EVs are still out of range economically for most Americans, who should “should not be forced into paying an excessive amount for a car they do not want and cannot afford.”

Since the EPA first introduced the standards in April, which would require EV sales to increase to 67% of new car sales by 2032, the practicality of it has been called into question, with EV sales accounting for 5.8% of new car sales in 2022, according to AutoForecast Solutions LLC, and is estimated to increase to 9% this year.

EPA spokesperson Shayla Powell has said that the “EPA has received the letter and will review it and respond accordingly.”
