As electric vehicle sales soar, the fuel economy of new vehicles in the United States in 2022 hit a record high, achieving the largest annual improvement in nine years, with an average of 26 miles per gallon. But Detroit's Big Three automakers continue to lag their competitors in fuel economy.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said vehicle fuel economy in 2022 improved by 0.6 MPG over 2021, and the average fuel economy of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids improved by 1.2 MPG.
The agency also said U.S. vehicle fuel economy is expected to improve further to 26.9 MPG in 2023.
Epa Administrator Michael Regan said the report "highlights the historic progress the industry has made to date in reducing climate pollution and other harmful emissions."
Traditional car companies continue to drag their feet
The report also shows that Tesla sold excess carbon credits in 2022, while General Motors and Mercedes-Benz bought carbon credits. Car manufacturers use carbon credits to meet emissions requirements.
Among major automakers, Stellantis has the lowest fuel economy, followed by GM and Ford, while Tesla has the highest, followed by Hyundai Motor and Honda.
It is worth noting that Tesla's sale of carbon emission credits to traditional fuel vehicle companies has become an important sideline for the company. In the 10 years from 2013 to 2022, "selling carbon" generated about $7 billion in revenue for Tesla. In 2022, Tesla earned $1.78 billion from it, a record year.
The EPA also said the share of production of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles rose to 7 percent in 2022 and is expected to rise further to 12 percent in 2023. The average range of electric vehicles in 2022 rose to a new high of 305 miles, more than four times that of 2011.
Dave Cooke, senior automotive analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), said the report shows that emissions from gasoline-powered cars have barely changed since 2015. He noted that automakers have fallen behind in their efforts to reduce emissions from conventional gasoline vehicles.
In April, the EPA proposed the strictest emissions standards ever for cars and trucks, hoping to speed the transition to cleaner transportation.
The agency proposes to cut carbon emissions from newly sold passenger cars and light trucks across the board by 2032, reducing average greenhouse gas emissions target levels by 56 percent. In addition, 67% of new cars and trucks sold in the United States will be electric by 2032.
Dan Becker, director of the Biological Diversity's Safe Climate Transport Campaign, said the EPA should enact stricter rules Automakers and the United Auto Workers union want the EPA to water down its pending proposal.
