As much as I like car and driver, that article is absolute dog shit. The edmunds article is interesting though.
I bet your gripe isn't with the EPA, but with SAE. I may be wrong, but if I recall correctly SAE uses EPA tests to define J1634 and allows manufacturers to either run an SCT or an MCT. EPA then adopts that into legislation. I believe EU/WLTP also uses J1634 but substitutes the EPA test cycles with the appropriate WLTC cycle (usually 3b for vehicles you would find in the US).
Thank you for explaining how this standard more-or-less came to be! I wasn't aware that the SAE was involved in helping develop it.
