On October 26, 2018, NAFA's Sunshine State Chapter dug into the topic of electric vehicle Implementation. The gathering took place at Disney's EPCOT Center. One auto manufacturer has promised 20 new electric vehicle types by 2023. Another promises 40 hybrids and electrics by 2022. Is it a surprise to see a ramp-up in options with $166 million up for grabs in government fleet EV infrastructure and diesel replacement funding available under the Florida Volkswagen settlement?

In the news: Finalized biofuel blending quotas for 2019 are expected to come in the next few days. The EPA launched the Cleaner Trucks Initiative, a program with the stated goal of decreasing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions produced from heavy-duty trucking. The EPA announced that auto dealerships, collision shops, and salvage yards will soon be exempted from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act's hazardous waste management regulations on the disposal of defective Takata airbag inflators. Competing legislative proposals to either terminate the electric vehicle credit or lift the 200,000-vehicle cap are now competing for final decision-making. Informal talks have continued between the U.S. and European Union about potential tariffs on foreign car imports.
