In a bold move echoing Tesla’s recent decision, Polestar, the renowned Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer, has announced its departure from a prominent auto industry lobby. This withdrawal reflects growing discontent with the lobby’s opposition to a crucial proposed vehicle efficiency standard, seen as pivotal for environmental progress.
The proposed standard aims to elevate vehicle efficiency benchmarks, crucial for reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. However, the lobby’s vigorous campaign against it has drawn criticism from eco-conscious automakers like Polestar and Tesla, who view such regulations as imperative for sustainable development.
Every other country already has similar standards, though. So they don’t need to design anything new, they can just actually start selling those cars in Australia instead of their obsolete junk that can’t be sold anywhere else.
