President Donald Trump signed three resolutions passed by Congress aimed at revoking California ’s power to set its own motor vehicle emissions rules.

In doing so, the federal government is taking aim at one of the most ambitious vehicle electrification schemes in the world.

The move won’t affect the sorts of cars available in showrooms and on lots today , or even next year .

The 2021 infrastructure law and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act triggered an estimated $210 billion investment in the US electric vehicle supply chain.

The funding was meant to put the US in a position to compete with Chinese automakers, who have developed cheap and effective EVs that have piqued interest among car buyers around the world.
