According to Edmund's Inside Line, the government is considering labeling vehicles with grades based on the vehicle's fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions.
" The changes are prompted by the introduction of such vehicles as the Volt and Leaf. During a telephone press conference on Monday afternoon, officials from the EPA and NHTSA say they still do not have official fuel economy ratings for the Volt or Leaf. 'We have not certified either of those vehicles yet,' said Gina McCarthy, EPA assistant administrator. 'We don't have a sense of what [letter] grade they would get. We are working with those companies to make sure the labels they come up with are reflective of appropriate greenhouse gas and fuel economy measures.' "
