Fuel Economy goal set at 54.4 mpg by 2025

The EPA announced that a CAFE of 54.5 mpg will be required by 2025, about twice the current fuel economy standards. That all sounds great, but VW has lashed out at the new standard saying it favors truck makers, and others fear the electric infrastructure won't be up to speed in time for the inevitable swarm of electric cars that will help raise the CAFE of a carmaker.

Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Toyota signed onto the agreement. The standards already call for a CAFE of 35.5 mpg through the 2012 to 2016 model years, with the 54.5 mpg standard taking effect in 2025.

I seriously doubt the 2025 mpg goal, and all the stakeholders get to evaluate the progress in a few years and readjust if needed.
