>Who is putting them up to this?
Increasing emissions requirements in line with the UN's "Sustainable Development" goals. They were hoping to push most manufacturers to go 100% EV by 2030, which many were and have been doing, but one by one they've all been backing down on those plans because, in the end, people vote with their wallet and just aren't buying them.
Literally the only exceptions are cucked out European countries like Norway, which shills will regurgitate "They're almost at 100% EV adoption!" without mentioning that Norway literally outlawed sales of new ICE cars. Whether it's Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Dodge, Mercedes or a load of other brands, there's examples of all of them either cancelling their next-gen EVs or announcing ICE replacements for the EVs that they released (to lukewarm reception).
