The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) publishes a final rule that revises the value for the petroleum-equivalency factor (PEF). This final rule revises DOE's regulations regarding procedures for calculating a value for the petroleum-equivalent fuel economy of electric vehicles (EVs). The PEF is used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in calculating light-duty vehicle manufacturers' compliance with the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.This rule is effective 12 June 2024.Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 474This final rule and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/1983 are identified by Docket Number EERE-2021-VT-0033.
