The American Petroleum Institute (API), the U.S. oil industry’s largest association, has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The action is aimed at challenging the new exhaust emission regulations introduced last March, which require automakers to increase production of electric vehicles (EVs). According to forecasts by the Biden administration, up to 56% of car sales will be electric between 2030 and 2032. The USA has also legislated against imports of Chinese electric vehicles.
