U.S. President Obama's Re-election to Bolster EVs, Emission/Fuel Standards

摘要

U.S. President Barack Obama's re-election on November 6 likely means continuing U.S. government support for "green" electric vehicles (EVs) and likely clears the way for finalization of proposed "Tier-3" lower-sulfur gasoline and lower-emissions vehicle standards. As noted in a November 7 report from Automotive News, "the [U.S.] auto industry figured heavily in Obama's re-election effort, which included as a centerpiece the US$85-billion auto bailout and the resurgence of General Motors and Chrysler" following bankruptcies by both automakers.
