The Oil Industry’s Covert Campaign to Rewrite American Car Emissions Rules
Article in NY Times - The Oil Industry’s Covert Campaign to Rewrite American Car Emissions Rules - The New York Times
When the Trump administration laid out a plan this year that would eventually allow cars to emit more pollution, automakers, the obvious winners from the proposal, balked. The changes, they said, went too far even for them.
But it turns out that there was a hidden beneficiary of the plan that was pushing for the changes all along: the nation’s oil industry.
In Congress, on Facebook and in statehouses nationwide, Marathon Petroleum, the country’s largest refiner, worked with powerful oil-industry groups and a conservative policy network financed by the billionaire industrialist Charles G. Koch to run a stealth campaign to roll back car emissions standards, a New York Times investigation has found. -

Toyota Won’t Make A Proper EV Because Dealers Say It Won’t Sell
Well, at least they're admitting it. And they're not entirely wrong since EV's are still just a small fraction of total vehicle sales around the world.
That said, I wonder what would've become of the Rav4 EV if they continued to improve it. Or at least offered a plug-in hybrid version.

VW and Toyota at LA Autoshow
There are two articles: VW, Toyota Place Different EV Wagers | WardsAuto
VW Touts Its SUV Sales, But Vows to Stay in Car Market
LOS ANGELES – Despite Volkswagen’s belated arrival to the SUV party, it is making up for lost time, says Scott Keogh, the new CEO of Volkswagen of America.
He adds, however, that the German automaker has no plans to bail out of the car market, despite its waning sales.
. . .
“We arrived late to the SUV game, but we see our rightful share growing,” Keogh says.
But he then cites the Jetta compact sedan as a “great entry-level vehicle for young buyers.”

California Auto Outlook 3Q2018
Here is the CNCDA auto outlook report for 3rd quarter
https://www.cncda.org/wp-content/uploads/Cal-Covering-3Q-18.pdf
I see some interesting numbers:
Ca. Sales (YTD 3rd Quarter)
BEV 61,386 (42% of USA sales)
PHEV 45,537 (53% of USA sales)
USA Sales (YTD 3rd Quarter)
BEV 144,505
PHEV 85,369
So these 3Q numbers are unusual, representing a number of factors. I attempt to interpret below.
(1) Normally, PHEV sales in Ca. are about 40% of USA but this year we are approaching 55% of PHEV sales sales in Ca. I tentatively attribute this to the new HOV rules in California, requiring current Ca. plug-in owners to get new plug-ins to stay in HOV beyond Jan_2019.
(1) BEV., normally Ca. is 50% of BEV market, now dropping down to 42%. What's happening here is the Tesla Model-3 sales are swamping the normal annual trends, and it would appear Tesla is selling more of the Model-3's outside of Calfornia.... -
"2019 Prius Plug In pick-up" skectchy article
This gotta be BS right? FIrst, why would it use the old design taillights, second, how is this caught on camera? Its clearly edited and out on that parking lot... Very badly edited also... I checked out their facebook, apparently by some reason they have 600 page likes, but literally no likes what so ever on any of the BS articles they share... checked all their posts all the way back to 2016, not a single like... This got to be complete and utter BS right?
