SEMA today is rejoicing in the successful, bipartisan effort to end electric-vehicle (EV) mandates, the result of a monumental, years-long effort to educate voters and lawmakers on the importance of preserving vehicle choice in the United States. By halting a California-led effort to ban internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles through EV mandates for 40% of the nation's population, the Senate, and before it the House of Representatives, have shown courage in the face of radical policymakers, and exhibited confidence in American innovation and ingenuity borne out of the automotive aftermarket industry. 

  • California's Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulation jeopardized a significant sector of the American economy. A third of the specialty automotive aftermarket is based on ICE technology. Today's Senate vote to end California's national EV mandate and ICE vehicle ban protects $100 billion of annual economic impact to the nation's economy and the more than 330,000 American jobs these policies threatened. With its actions, Congress has safeguarded this important hub of innovation and American engineering prowess, providing stability for millions of American households employed by the aftermarket.  

"SEMA thanks the lawmakers from both sides of the aisle who stood up for Americans' freedom to determine which vehicles are best for them," said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola. "We thank those in the nation's community of automotive enthusiasts and the aftermarket businesses who engaged in the advocacy process, many for the first time, to remind lawmakers that this is the United States of America, not the United States of California. Congress' vote gives the nation's automotive marketplace much-needed stability, which will deliver renewed investment and sufficient resources to aid our industry in doing what we do best: innovating the future of automotive technology. 

"This victory would not be possible without the courage and fortitude shown by Majority Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson to look beyond the opposition's lies and underhanded effort to undermine the will of the people," Spagnola said. "We look forward to President Trump putting an end to this nightmarish EV mandates policy with his signature and thus fulfill an important promise he made to the American people." 

SEMA STEERS THE CONVERSATION ON EV MANDATES AND ICE VEHICLE BANS 

SEMA was, and never will be, anti-EV; rather, it champions a technology-neutral approach that fosters innovation and ingenuity. The association will continue efforts to preserve Americans' rights to vehicle choice and the automotive aftermarket industry's ability to design, manufacture and bring to market products that help solve the emissions challenge. 

  

Beginning in 2023, SEMA led a national effort to educate voters and lawmakers on the damage of EV mandates on families, the working class, and American small businesses. In February, when the effort to overturn the California waiver kicked into high gear, SEMA mobilized an army of advocates to: 

  • Send more than 56,000 letters to lawmakers in the House and Senate 
  • Build a coalition of 335 small businesses for an April letter urging House and Senate leadership to hold votes to put an immediate stop to the implementation of the ACC II regulation 
  • Host aftermarket business leaders and automotive influencers for 56 in-person meetings in Washington, D.C., with lawmakers and their staffs 
  • Dominate the digital media landscape with countless memes and posts on the harms of EV mandates, reaching more than 2 million voters in key states, and running online ads that put pressure on lawmakers and staff around the Capitol  

Along the way, states not named California got wise to the harms of EV mandates. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Vermont each backed off pledges to follow California's emissions policies while North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, West Virginia and eight other states passed SEMA-supported "ban the ban" legislation to ensure such mandates never take effect again. 

This follows a significant financial investment by SEMA to educate voters throughout the 2024 presidential campaign via its Driving Force Action SuperPAC, with ads running the battleground states of Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

ADAS Compatibility

 

SEMA and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers joined forces to host leaders from the private sector for a symposium to address the growing challenges associated with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibrations. A renewed federal regulatory focus on mobility issues and vehicle safety and rapid advancements in vehicle technology are moving the aftermarket industry to enhance its ability to service vehicles. The event resulted in a unified voice for automotive aftermarket service, parts, tools and equipment providers.

Held at the SEMA Garage in Plymouth, Michigan, leading voices from across the automotive industry addressed one of the most pressing and complex challenges facing aftermarket repair and customization professionals: creating a clear, industry-wide roadmap to ensure ADAS functions safely and reliably in every vehicle, whether a vehicle is factory-original or modified in the aftermarket.

"SEMA and the aftermarket are traditionally known for performance and style, but our legacy of safety innovation runs just as deep. What starts in the aftermarket often shapes the broader industry. With the rapid adoption of ADAS technology, we have a unique opportunity to lead again--helping define a safer, more adaptive and more personalized driving experience. The ADAS Symposium brought together innovators, experts and stakeholders from across the industry to chart a path forward. It's not just about reacting to change--it's about taking a leadership role in building a future where advanced safety and aftermarket innovation go hand in hand," said Jim Moore, SEMA vice president of OEM and product development.

From standardizing procedures to advancing education, training, advocacy and exploring new business models, the event sparked vital conversations shaping the future of safe, tech-driven mobility.

New Technology Creates Unique Challenges

Modern automobile safety systems have moved beyond air bags, seatbelts and rearview mirrors. They also account for a new wave of technology known as ADAS. These systems drive features such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), lane departure warning (LDW), blind sport warning (BSW), adaptive cruise control (ACC) and others. ADAS features are controlled by a vast array of sensors, cameras, radar and lidar systems.

Evolving Regulations Change the Landscape

The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finalized a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard in 2024 that will make AEB, including pedestrian AEB, standard on all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029. This safety standard is expected to reduce rear-end and pedestrian crashes. NHTSA's regulation mandates that all cars be able to stop and avoid contact with a vehicle in front of them up to 62 miles per hour. The regulation also requires systems to detect pedestrians in both daylight and darkness, which presents a challenge to OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers and to those who modify vehicles. Modifiers seek access to system information to ensure vehicles are safely modified.

The standard also requires that the system apply brakes automatically at speeds up to 90 mph when a collision with a lead vehicle is imminent, and up to 45 mph when a pedestrian is detected. For grassroots racers, many of whom use street-legal vehicles in competition at the local racetrack, this presents a challenge if they are unable to temporarily disable AEB and PAEB systems.

EV Mandate

 

Eleven states have tethered themselves to California's plan to ban internal-combustion-engine vehicles by 2035. Now, another has shown discomfort with the plan to force electric-vehicle (EV) mandates on 40% of the nation's population. 

In a clear signal of growing resistance to California's aggressive emissions mandates, Vermont Governor Phil Scott on May 13 issued an executive order pausing the state's adoption of the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) rule. The regulation would have required 35% of all new light-duty vehicle sales to be electric by 2026, increasing to 100% by 2035--effectively banning the sale of new gas-powered cars. 

Scott's executive order cites Vermont's inadequate EV-charging infrastructure and concerns over the readiness of electric heavy-duty vehicles. He emphasized the need for a balanced, locally grounded approach that maintains consumer choice without rushing into mandates that the state is not equipped to support. SEMA, along with automakers and other industry groups, has echoed these concerns and warned about disruptions and constrained markets if the ACC II policy is implemented as planned. 

The move follows similar actions by the governors of Maryland and Delaware, signaling a shift in states' feelings on California's one-size-fits-all policy model.  

SEMA continues to advocate for technology-neutral government policies that support small businesses, protect consumer freedom and foster innovation across all fuel and powertrain types. While Vermont's pause offers breathing room, SEMA maintains that lasting policy change requires ending EV mandates altogether. 

Take Action 

As more states reconsider these mandates, Vermont's decision could mark a turning point in how clean transportation goals are pursued at the federal level by favoring pragmatism over policy mimicry. We ask all enthusiasts, small businesses and defenders of vehicle consumer choice to write their lawmakers and tell them the focus needs to be grounded in local realities and the people they serve.
