California to Ban Sale of New Gasoline Vehicles in 2035, Favoring EVs

 


ยท        California Governor Newsom has signed an executive order that bans the sale of new gas-powered passenger cars in California starting in 2035.

ยท        The zero-emissions effort will allow for gas-powered vehicles to continue to be sold on the used market in the state.

ยท        California has led the nation in emissions rules since the '70s. Todayโ€™s order pushes that further.

California has long led the country in emissions standards and has had its own emissions standard since California was issued a waiver under the 1970 Clean Air Act. Gov. Gavin Newsom is pushing that further today with an executive order that all new in-state sales of passenger vehicles must be zero-emission by 2035. In other words, only EVs will be available for purchase as new vehicles from 2035 forward in the state. Announced in a live feed, the order was signed on the hood of a Ford Mustang Mach-E.
