The 2025 Cafe standards of 62 Mmp are great in theory, but at what cost?
Hello My friends,
I have been a little busy of late as you may know. I have been unable to do the blog posts I should have. For that I am very sorry. I have been following the automotive news lately and have been a little surprised.
Hyundai is taking over the market.
Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have dropped the ball and Hyundai is cleaning up. Like ford motor Company they have a strong product offering and great availability. Thier pricing and payments are so attractive, they are even competing with used vehicles.
The CAFE standard for 2025 are silly.
I know everyone, including politicians are trying to save the planet these days. The question is at what cost. The current crop of Hybrids and electric cars still don’t make great financial sense. The savings would need to be off the carts for these new vehicles to make sense for most consumers. For all vehicles to have numbers better than the Hybrids of today the cost of each vehicle would increase dramatically.
The best option is to look at developing fuel cell or natural gas alternatives that reduce or eliminate any tailpipe emissions.
That’s my two cents….
