Kinda sorta; because it’s a fleet average, it means that EVs will be marketed in the states following the California standard, but not the rest of the country.
I mean Cali still won’t allow a truck that gets 7/mpg so those cars/trucks will become niche. California is the state with the largest population at 12%.
This was classically true, but the fact that it’s a fleet vehicle economy standard means you can have something inefficient, and sell it in the other states, while selling EVs in California. So you’re doing two different vehicle models for different parts of the country, but achieving the required efficiency standard.
