Today on Critical Materials: Big oil isn't happy with the EPA's new rules, Ford allows dealers list EVs below MSRP, plus a recall for Hyundai and Kia EVs
The shift to electric vehicles is happening. We've known it for a while, and automakers have all but given in to the governmental and consumer pressure by committing to adding battery-powered cars to their fleets . That hasn't exactly gone over smoothly with big oil, and now the EPA's new ruling on tailpipe emissions—despite being more lenient on acceptable levels of pollutants—could prompt a long legal battle.
In fact, dealers not only listed the vehicle at MSRP, but also often attached hefty markups. It's important to note that Ford has technically always allowed dealers to sell the vehicle for whatever price they chose, however, the Minimum Allowable Advertised Price policy didn't allow for dealers to advertise the vehicles to the public at that price. But Ford has been shaking up its pricing policies since December when Ford changed its Minimum Allowable Advertised Price policy.
