The National Coalition for Advanced Transportation—a “coalition of companies that supports electric vehicle and other advanced transportation technologies and related infrastructure”—filed a petition for review challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) action withdrawing the Obama-era determination that greenhouse gas standards for light-duty vehicles for model years 2022-2025 remained appropriate. In April 2018, EPA issued a revised determination finding that the standards appeared to be too stringent. The Coalition challenging this determination includes Tesla, Inc. and a number of utilities.
