States and local air quality regulators have the legal authority to set particulate matter (PM), ozone, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions standards and adopt regulations for these pollutants when they are already in attainment of the national ambient air quality standards ( NAAQS ) set by the U.S. and Sierra Club v.

The rapid growth in heavy-duty electric vehicle technology is encouraging. It’s a vital missed opportunity that regulators are so out of step with the technology in this realm. The continued reductions in the price of batteries have also influenced the growth in model availability. States play a major role in electric truck adoption.

But in an effort to skirt legal challenges, the new rule bases its limits largely on carbon capture and sequestration (“CCS”) and hydrogen co-firing such that individual power plants are able to continue operation if they adopt the appropriate control technologies.

While it might seem strange to some that two different government agencies are releasing new rules at the same time for the same set of vehicles, below I explain the importance of both programs and why we need NHTSA to do better. It also risks extending some of the loopholes that EPA is trying to close under its greenhouse gas program.
