California was the first state to pass the Advanced Clean Cars II regulations. Now, 11 other US states will ban the sales of gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
California is gearing up to prohibit the sale of new gas-powered cars — and other states are playing follow the leader.
A measure approved by the California Air Resources Board in August 2022 requires all new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks sold in the state to generate zero tailpipe emissions by 2035. The policy won’t take existing vehicles off the road, but automakers and car dealers will be restricted to selling electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids.
“Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse — and create more days filled with smoky air,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers or raise sea levels, threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”
Good luck with that one you elite punks
Donald will make the necessary changes…if this 11 states don’t like it, then no future Federal funds. See how they like that!
