California To Ban Sale Of Gasoline Passenger Vehicles By 2035

Residents of California will not be able to purchase a gasoline-powered passenger vehicle after 2035.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that the state will ban the sale of all new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles starting in 2035, saying the move is the “most impactful step our state can take to fight climate change.”
“For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe,” Newsom said. “You deserve to have a car that doesn’t give your kids asthma. Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”
As Reuters points out, California is the largest automotive market in the United States, accounting for 11% of all new domestic car sales annually. Additionally, many states will follow California’s lead when it comes to forming fuel economy, emissions and other environmental regulations. Currently, 13 states follow the more strict California Air Resources Board vehicle emissions regulations, including populous regions such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Washington, among others.
In addition to banning the sale of gasoline passenger vehicles, Newsom said the state plans to implement a new mandate that will require all medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to be emissions-free where feasible, as well. The state expects these measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 35%.
While Californians will no longer be able to buy new gasoline passenger vehicles after 2035, they will still be allowed to own them and will be allowed to buy and sell them second-hand.
Automakers with major investments in future electric programs, such as General Motors, will be happy to see politicians working to speed the adoption of electric vehicles. GM currently has several different EVs in development, including the GMC Hummer EV pickup truck and SUV, Cadillac Lyriq crossover and the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV hatchback, among others. The automaker will also ramp up its battery production efforts once its new battery plant in Ohio is complete, which the automaker is building in partnership with cell supplier LG Chem.
Other CARB states have not said if they plan to follow California’s lead in banning the sale of gas passenger cars by 2035.

This won’t work, but Arizona, Nevada, Utah Oregon will appreciate the business.
I don’t think a workaround is for Californians to go outside of the state to purchase their 2035+ gasoline vehicles. They’d still have to register it in California, and I doubt California will allow this.
CA already prohibits its residents from registering any motor vehicle from out of state unless it has at least 7500 miles on it. This rule has been in effect for decades although it seems that few know about it. Glad I left there 5 years ago.
CA does not allow registration of a non-CA emissions vehicle with under 7,500 miles. However, beginning 2004 with Tier 2/LEV II standards, most tiers of Federal and CA emissions became effectively identical, with the difference basically being the emissions warranty length and parts coverage. (CA warranty is shorter but covers more parts)
Before the LEV standards, CA was actually less strict in some areas and more strict in others, and therefore it was also illegal to sell a CA emissions vehicle in Federal territory.
Therefore, in practice, the vast majority of new vehicles purchased outside of CA, beginning in the early 2000s, meet CA emissions and can be registered immediately in CA. That’s why “few know about it”.
Not entirely true. Unless a change has been implemented since I left 5 years ago a CA resident can still not buy an out of state motor vehicle to register in CA unless it has at least 7500 miles on it. I worked at a Dealership so have first hand experience. If what you say is true DMV Managers also “don’t know about it”. This is about tax revenue guised as saving the planet.
Wrong. You think DMV managers make decisions? They enter this stuff into a computer and it tells them. If you actually have done this, the DMV staff goes to the car, opens the hood, and reads the emissions label. (You might not have done this since you keep getting cars from the dealer)
It has nothing to do with taxes. CA will charge you sales tax when you register the car, regardless of where you got it from. This even applies if you already own the car and move in from out of state, you pay sales tax again. This is well known to people moving in. (Again, getting cars from a dealer, you wouldn’t know)
In fact I have gone to DMV for this very transaction. Also have moved out of CA and back in years ago and did not pay sales tax on the cars I already owned. Apparently your experience is that of a different CA.
Smokefoot55 you are wrong, Sam is correct. The 7500-mile rule only applies to vehicles that don’t meet CA emissions standards. Stop spreading misinformation.
I ment economically, people and industry (even the coveted IT sector) will start leaving California for other states. The charge grid probably won’t be up to par for transportation by then.
This will not work as they will prevent this if this law is still around by then.
California has a history of laws banning gas and diesel vehicles but they have had to put aside the laws as the mark just could not support the laws.
There still remains work to be done to get the EV to where even lower income people can afford them. By 2035 they may be here but then again they may not. California should just let the market decide and let this happen organically.
The other gorilla in the corner is the lack of pans for new power plants. They have banned all sorts of power plants and dismantlement damns and closed Nukes with no real replacement. They are riding a line of black outs due to the lack of power and are trying to get people to shut off AC in heat waves for discounts as it is now.
They are now thinking of keeping the NG plants on line as the wind and sun are leaving them short of their needs.
The other factor is that not everyone has or can use the EV effectively. There are many areas where they will still need ICE in off road and remote applications where there is no power available.
If they just let things go people will migrate over on their one and not feel forced into this against their will.
The next step is they will go after the vintage cars and either limit them or restrict them. That is not just some made up thing. We already had to fight the EPA on racing cars and off road car in the last admin that tried to change the rules to fit their agenda. Look up the RPM act and see they were stopped from reinterpreting their own views on laws passed by the house and senate.
It is time for the environmental people to trust their own tech as if EV models are as good as they believe then let them prove it in the market. That is how you sell people on these not passing laws forcing people into them.
If California keeps seeing business leave we can afford to go back to 49 states and let them do it alone.
I always thought pitchfork and torch people as exaggeration but i shocked to see this much naysayers in a technology forum. They bring some hurdles to the table that a new technology faces and their suggestion is… “we should do nothing to overcome, just scrap that whole electric think and go back to burning dinosaur juice.” Hmm if you really have grasp of this issue how about suggesting some innovations to solve the problems?
“Oh it require too much electricity we need more power plants…” really how good is that more investment more jobs.. “ooh that power plants burn natural gas too it would not help climate change” really i thought you don’t believe climate change now you become believer? that’s more like it! You don’t care environment in the first place, so just enjoy thousand horsepower and 500+ mile range ,under 2 seconds 0-60 with grand handling electric cars that whip the ice cars rear-end without caring about climate change. Also how about thinking a little bit more broad in scope and investing renewable energy power sources instead of natural gas. Again more jobs, economic growth and energy independence are bonuses. Ok ok let hear your cliche I know i know sun goes down and wind stops blow sometimes. Have you ever heard energy storage, batteries in utility scale and hydrogen ring a bell?
It’s shocking to me that how these gas car people can’t see the irony. Some hundred and ten years ago horse was the main means of transport then automobile invented. Think about that, you don’t have any proper road, any traffic rule, safety standards for cars, yet they were still willing to ride just barely put together primitive vehicles to extreme speeds they had never experienced before. They have zero infrastructure to support this new tech, no logistics to transport billions of gallons gas to every town in the country, zero gas stations, nor the roads to drive this thing. Yet still those “crazy” people wanted this new tech because they had vision and saw the future, they knew it was much better and advanced than cart. So they didn’t mind to spend with today’s money tens of trillions of dollars to make it work. I’m sure if you search literature you will see people with same mindset with you who went against this new scary tech called automobile, but of course they had no chance, you can’t confront the progress of humanity.
No one is saying not yo go to EV they just are saying to let the market migrate naturally.
If the EV is as good as you say people will move over of their own.
The pitchforks and torches are the California goverment forcing people over not of their own will.
Let people adopt and choose EV of their own will and you will find much less push back.
Back 110 years ago the government did not force people to choose they let the products entice and choose them.
Ken you appear to think the only way to adopt EV models is to pass laws making you buy them? Are they not good enough to get people to choose them of their own free will. I think they will be in the coming years and laws like this are silly!
Americans fought seat belts voraciously as an attack on their rights despite overwhelming evidence that they save lives. Those types of individuals only respond to hefty fines in those cases. They lack complete common sense and understanding of the greater good.
China completely eradicated the virus by overwhelming force and a clear game plan. The US will be living with it for at least the next 2 years and will end up bankrupting itself due to complete lack of leadership. Very sad indeed.
China has cleared it or so they say. They said they did not start it either.
The United States is not going to go bankrupt unless they fail to stop Nancy Pelosi from buying votes.
Let me be Frank oh sorry you are Frank. Seat belts are not automobiles. They are items that limit freedom and are not fun till you rationalize them.
Now EV cars are a new product and technology and as prices come down and the technology improves do you not believe people will be drawn to them naturally. This is no different than computers. The first ones were expensive and did some basic things. Today they are flying off the shelf’s and no one had to pass a law you had to buy one.
In fact Apple captured that one element some cars like Ferrari have as being able to make an emotional bond with many consumers.
I feel that EV models will be to the point you don’t have to force buyers into them. Why do you not feel confident enough in them you feel people need to be forced to buy them?
Where are you going to stop? Are you going to force me to buy other products just because you lack confidence in them?
My thinking concerning EV’s has always been the following.
Once Tesla came along and basically showed the whole World what a truly great EV can do, it was basically Game over for ICE but at a slow enough pace for the Big Three to catch up.
However, once Europe and China passed extremely aggressive legislation I quickly pivoted to getting our Government to follow ASAP as well to give out Big Three a punchers chance in the shift to EV’s.
Not sure if anyone here followed the Tesla Battery and Powertrain Day but it is really Game over for ICE.
But I feel many here are only thinking about choice and not that Tesla is constantly spending mad amounts of cash on R&D and so are Chinese and European Auto Makers to switch to EV’s. I only think as a GM fan. I want them to move to pure EV’s faster than any other maker besides Tesla obviously. I am telling you that a major Auto Maker if not more will go down during this monumental Shift in Technology. I want GM to be the best and to be around another 100 years. The story has been written and ICE is basically done. Some have accepted this to be the case and the ones that will fight it will go the way of Nokia and others.
This isn’t a tech forum. Many people here fantasize on the return of the carburetor. Lol
Bill Nobody here is talking about carburetors. Maybe people just want the freedom to buy the kind of vehicle they want instead of being forced to buy what they do not want. Maybe people know that EV cars is not really new technology at all and being presented as such, and that EV cars have been around since the 1860’s. Maybe people realize that Hybrid cars isn’t new technology either and know that hybrids have been around since 1899 when Porsche invented the first one. Lol
You can put a carburetor in any car, even an electric, but you have no further use for it.
Oregon and Nevada will follow
Doubtful but maybe by then California will have the electrical grid up to first world standard. So not only will Californians be sitting in the dark they will have to walk everywhere too…
Pure insanity, where does the juice come from to charge the batteries? God I thought Jerry Brown was an idiot.
Not to mention, the lithium used to produce the batteries. I guess it all comes from the same place were going to put all of the batteries when they go bad!
Keep thinking those mines are 100% green! I hope these idiots know that there no such thing as electric 300-ton earth movers! Ya know, the ones that burn 7 gallons an hour or whatever.
Actually Earth Movers and all the equipment require heavy lift are perfect candidates for electrification they need extreme tork instantly and don’t mind weight that battery would add, actually it’s the opposite they favor heavy weight to counter the load they move. And i have news for you we already have many electric mining and construction machinery. Just search “electric heavy machinery” and see ginormous electric mining shovels, monstrous mining trucks and excavators from CAT and other manufacturers.
I’m a GM fan and also an EV supporter and i can’t understand how this matter has become a political issue and if you position yourself with certain political brand you automatically except being anti electric. This society split two tribes and each one programed to label then support or hate anything and everything in this life without even think about it.
Its a mathematical impossibility for us to be able to produce enough batteries for the future evs. The raw material and precious metals needed just doesn’t exist. We are talking 60 80 100 million bat a year.
That’s exactly what the horseshoe makers said in 1910
That was an evasive answer that im used to hearing about my comment.
@Henry
Well if you actually follow what is happening we will only need to mine for a short period of time. It could be the next 20 years or the next 50 years. But eventually we will not need to mine for Battery Production in the Future. You see eventually all the materials we will need to keep producing new EV Batteries for cars per year will come from recycled old batteries. Can you recycle Crude Oil?
Actually you can recycle crude oil, i sell it every day. And there wont be enough recycled batteries to feed the demand.
You can recycle used Gasoline in vehicles?
You should probably reach out to all the struggling Big Oil Companies.
Your comment said “can you recycle crude oil” as in you were trying to be smart by saying you cant recycle used oil. But you can and we aren’t talking about gasoline and you knew it.
Oh my bad. I thought this was a Car site and we were discussing Automobile related Propulsion differences.
You got me.
The juice comes from the same outlet you used to write your comment with. All electrics can charge with plain 120 VAC, which every home has. Do you get gasoline piped into your home? I see you are the idiot.
Raymond Ramirez Just because you get 120 into your home does not mean you have control over it.
California must have stupid virus in the water. This will never happen. And if they think this will stop fires they have to be the dumbest people on the planet. They can’t handle electricity needed now, can you imagine the demand on the grid with all electric cars and homes. They need to build more power plants that use natural gas. They need to do forest management and do control burns and create fire breaks. Remove old timber and use for building products. Simple stuff but the enviromental wacko just don’t get it.
I am sure the worlds 6th best Economy if it was a Country knows what they are doing.
It is always comical to me when we make fun of California regarding Business Regulations.
It is a great decision and other States will definitely follow and follow Soon enough. This finally will provide our Big Three with the opportunity to stay competitive and not fall way behind European and Chinese Auto Makers Due strictly to Regulations.
Momolos…California benefits from having a large number of extremely high-profile celebs, athletes and tech companies keeping them afloat. But they’re hardly a state to model your economic affairs off of.
There’s a reason it’s one of the most unequal states, if not THE most unequal state in the Union. More and more people slip into poverty there. The income inequality is unreal. And as the regulations get tighter, more and more companies (Tesla, for example) will bolt, because the hipness of operating there won’t outweigh the intense regulation. That means less tax revenue…and a further decreased average standard of living.
California is trying to make their entire grid run off renewables, which is why they have such a ridiculous amount of blackouts. Renewables cannot, and will not, ever be able to support that state as it is now, let alone with millions of new electric vehicles leeching off the grid. The state will collapse, maybe not now, maybe not next year, but soon. It’s implosion has begun. And what’s especially sad is that they honestly COULD wean off fossil fuels entirely…if they actually invested in NUCLEAR POWER. Which they refuse, like idiots, to do. Hence, they have to ration their own f***ing power.
It’s unreal that California is able to function as it is DESPITE their politicians. This is a deadly move made not really to combat climate change, but to score political points and capital.
You should learn about the ongoing problem of storing waste from nuclear power plants. Only dumb Americans are preventing our nation from leading the world in the development of new technologies to harvest “FREE” and “RENEWABLE” energy that is not going to run out like oil, and ultimately rake in the profits from exporting to other countries… too bad people could care less and are blowing this economic opportunity.
“Free” and “Renewable” energy runs out constantly, that’s why they have blackouts all over the Californian west coast. And it’s not “free” either, or else everyone out there wouldn’t even need the grid. Nuclear is a middle ground, not an extreme, yet people like you can’t even entertain the thought, despite the fact that it is carbon-neutral and doesn’t contribute at all to “global warming.” It’s that kind of thinking that leads to moronic moves that California makes routinely.
If that state is ever powered exclusively by solar, wind, geothermal, etc., it’s likely going to be 100 or more years from now, if ever (likely never). The tech is nowhere near ready, that’s a fact. Until then, you need natural gas, oil and/or nuclear power to get people reliable electricity. Anything less is ridiculous, just like California. It’s far easier to solve the problem of what to do with nuclear waste than it is to run off of completely non-fossil fuel or nuclear power. Wake up.
So Celebs make it the sixth Biggest World economy if it was its own Country?
The reason people slip into poverty there which is the same as in any other place in the World is that the money they bring in is not enough to sustain their way of life at the location they are at. People can move to California and people can move out of California. Most Big Cities around the World have the same issue. Not everyone is meant to live in the most expansive parts of the World. I do not want to sound insensitive but those are facts.
As far as their Grid goes it is total FUD that they are having issues due to them going Renewables. By adding Solar and Energy Storage they are actually keeping alive their Old infrastructure. They will get to the point where their Grid will be mostly renewable Energy in many Forms. Actually most Big Cities in the World will. Solar and Energy Storage is by miles cheaper hence why Energy Companies are ditching Peeker plants at a fast clip. They care about saving money but the byproduct of that is we transition to Cleaner Energy and create much cleaner jobs around the World. . It is a Win Win Win.
I am from the Midwest but always find it comical that Media says California is clueless when it comes to making money or that it will go Bankrupt. Californias economy is enormous. It is the biggest Car Market in the USA if memory serves me correctly and if they say they are going to be ICE Free by 2035 well then other States and Auto Makers will follow. Just like they did with Zev and Emissions.
They could use that old timber to make a rake handle for every republican in the state /s.
This decision isn’t written in stone especially when California may need to join states like New York and file for bankruptcy.
So goes California, so goes the nation. Bravo!
Uh, NO ! You’re a special kind of stupid aren’t you ?
Without California and New York, the US is an amalgamation of uncultured and barely educated bands of crétins who live mostly in rural 3rd world America.
All Americans should follow leaders and not lemmings going over a precipice.
Don’t think so, Ny (mostly NYC) mostly used the Wall St wrecking ball for outsourcing and bad economic policies. California?, say no more. The most debt out of any state with pet projects to nowhere and the most economic inequality out of any state. Let’s not pretend the other 48 states can’t function without them..
California is the 6th biggest economy in the world and 2/3 of the US GDP comes from blue states.
Most of the tech for the world has come from California which has set trends across the world. The US would be nothing without Cali and NY.
The red states are famous for backward thinking, inbreeding, opioid consumption and obesity.
The US should be divided into 2 separate entities to reflect reality.
Who said I’m right wing?, btw Texas is the biggest benefactor of CA. As I’ve seen this past summer CA can’t keep its fires out, poor people living in vehicles and tents, technology jobs are moving northwest and east,, the movie industry is moving to the south, outside of SF/SJ, LA and SD Cali is a 3rd world wasteland.
NY is finding out hard too how much the US needs them as banks and insurance companies moving to Connecticut, NJ, PA and so as the NY governor said “I buy you a drink ” begging companies to stay at, least it isn’t to late for NY.
Bill Nobody here is talking about carburetors. Maybe people just want the freedom to buy the kind of vehicle they want instead of being forced to buy what they do not want. Maybe people know that EV cars is not really new technology at all and being presented as such, and that EV cars have been around since the 1860’s. Maybe people realize that Hybrid cars isn’t new technology either and know that hybrids have been around since 1899 when Porsche invented the first one. Lol
Tom Gregory Politicians started that stupid saying. So many other states are NOT following California, because they do not want to become broke, and they actually want jobs and companies to come to their states. Unlike Cal and NY where people are leaving in mass. I could be here a while naming them all but, a few are Florida, Texas, So. Dakota, Utah, Arkansas…etc…
I find it so funny when politicians make mandates to go into effect when their term in office is over , so they push it onto the other guy in office to make it happen. I think if they are so passionate about an idea when why not do it when they are in office . So it makes me think that the idea is not such a good thing or he would do it when he can control the outcome. I hate it when government tries to tell people what they can and can not buy.
They are telling YOU what you cannot buy, they are telling the manufactures what to produce. Big difference.
It’s called having a vision and setting clear strategies to make it a reality. China has already done it but the target is 5 years earlier. China is now the undisputed word leader and they are eating Americans lunch. Chinese infrastructure makes the US looks like Eastern Europe under the Soviets.
No, this is just an executive order to do something long after the Governor is out of office.
It’s completely meaningless.
Thank you Nate. Precisely.
Auto Makers for the most part adopt California rules across the board. This is great news.
I was fearful we would fall way behind in the EV Shift to Europe and especially China.
This will give the Big Three a punchers chance to stay alive into the Future. Now lets keep Chinese Auto Makers away from our Shores for as long as possible until Ford, Chrysler, and GM are up to speed in the EV Segment.
Who supplies the needed materials for the advanced batteries needed for the limited-range, slow-to-re-charge electric toys ? Do you know ? You yap about keeping the Chi-Comms out but have no clue.
Who supplies basically everything you and I use on a daily basis?
My point exactly, yet you advocate sending them more of our money in order to produce more expensive, short-range, slow re-charging EV’s. Capice ?
Who said anything about advocating for China?
I said this decision will give OUR Big Three a chance to stay alive in the Wold Economy. Whether you like it or not, China and Europe have spoken and their Future is EV’s.
So if we do nothing, Chinese and European Auto Makers will destroy the Big Three. How is this a hard concept to understand?
Our Big Three need Europe and China to stay alive and to sell cars. It is a fact.
Not sure if you have noticed but the Auto Industry is not one Country but it is World Wide and has been for a couple of Decades now.
Also you might want to do some homework first. ICE Tech keeps getting more expensive and the price Battery Tech keeps dropping like a Led Zeppelin. Your argument makes zero sense sorry. It will be much and I do mean much cheaper to produce an EV Vehicle in the Future. I mean Tesla alone just said they will be able to drop the price of Battery Packs by 56% and that is just one company working on the issue. So just think about the entire Auto World working on the show much cheaper it will get.
Momolos,
Bill’s point was that the parts needed to make American EV’s competitively priced will almost certainly be mostly imported from China, where the tech is the cheapest. So if we try to force the Big 3 to build EV’s, all that means is that the demand from them for Chinese battery electronics parts will skyrocket…meaning we’ll send EVEN MORE money to China.
That’s just the way the global economy works today. What difference does it ultimately make whether we allow several Chinese brands to sell a small amount of electric cars here in the USA, or whether we force the Big 3 to make EV’s with majority Chinese parts?
I understand that but a lot of the parts are from China as well regardless of Propulsion systems. I honestly do not understand the difference if we stick to ICE or shift to EV’s what will change as far as our dependency from China. That is a completely different topic all to itself.
And I am sorry but if some cannot understand that the Economy is World Wide then I do not know what else I can say. GM cannot continue to split their R&D money across two completely different Propulsion systems for too long when All Other Auto Makers will only spend on one due to their Countries Regulations. I am honestly baffled why this is a hard concept.
I am a GM fan and want them to be around another 100 years and the only way that will happen is if they switch to EV’s and do it as quickly as possible. The world has spoken and ICE will be phased out whether we here agree with it or not. As I stated earlier on this thread I am purely looking at this from a GM fans perspective and I want them to still be around. Do we not remember what Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Kia, and Honda did as companies there? Our Big Three were too slow to react and how much share did they lose and lose it forever? We said the same things like we are today. Who cares what Tesla is doing and next thing we know (as I stated many times here) Tesla is one of the top 10 Companies in the World.
Huge segment changing Tech always follows an S Curve. If you miss it, you die off. I am honestly not sure how else this can be explained.
GM either thrives in the shift or is fighting for their lives because they could’t make the proper shift when they had the chance too.
Get real.
“Falling behind China”?
Much of China’s electric power is generated by coal burning plants.
And more coal burning plants are planned there.
You can tout EVs as zero emission but the underlying source to charge their batteries is dirty coal.
Get the facts before revealing your ignorance.
How many vehicles are registered in Calif.? If they were all electric and were all plugged into the grid tonight, what would be the amperage draw on power plants be and could they handle it? Their major power producer is bankrupt and one of the many wild fires is blamed on faulty electrical equipment. Sounds like a plan! Hope this doesn’t start a national trend. Bet Newsom is chauffeured in a gas SUV.
Nailed it ! This is probably the dumbest “order” ever conceived by this Newsom idiot. He pontificates about battling climate change while his State and two others with identical nitwit leaders produce wildfires that have produced smoke affecting almost everyone of the lower 48 States because he does inadequate forestry management because they spend all their money elsewhere. Only good thing about CA going all electric is it would keep them all close to home.
They wouldn’t have the power to plug in even a tenth of their vehicle fleet. This “plan” would require massive investment in infrastructure, including a lot of power plants being built.
You can’t just say “Everyone has to drive electric cars!” and have it happen. It’s a lot more complicated than that.
An executive order is not a law. The next governor could overturn this. This is just virtue signaling following the paths of the europeans. If this governor really cared he would gear California up for future nuclear fusion plants. Especially as the ITER project nears completion. As presently cali imports a lot of electricity from its neighboring “dirty” states. The mindset they have is out of sight out of mind.
As a nation the USA will need congress to figure out our plan forward and it must be very detailed. There will be phase plans needed for something like this.
Either way get the cars you want now boys! As used cars are going to skyrocket, especially performance ones.
Hmmmmm….. interesting,,,, parallels the tungsten light bulb ban and LED evolution?
This is nothing like the LED bulb requirement. LED bulbs are a viable replacement with similar or better capability.
It doesn’t matter where you live or really even how much you make, switching your light bulbs isn’t a massive cost or inconvenience.
Yes it is.
15 years is a long time away still, A lot is going to change regarding EV by then. Price, availability and public perception will be different.
this is just aspirational gobbledygook.
it reminds me of a saying … “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
This is a very bad idea and worse, it’s all a plan for the #unagenda2030 to be pushed down our throats, wake up.
I would like to be a car dealer years 2030 to 2035. Sales will soar. And then the buyers will keep those cars for 300,000 miles or more. Auto mechanics will also be in demand.
They like to make the US out to be this huge polluter, but of the 500 most polluted cities in the world, not one is in the US, none in Canada, and only two in Mexico. China, India, and much of the middle east are the ones doing all the polluting, if you want to make an impact, get them to change….
steak,
Post the proof that backs-up your statement.
He’s exactly right. Google it.
BY THAT YEAR, AN EARTH QUAKE WILL RACK THAT STATE AND BATTERY CARS WILL BE THE LAST THING ON THEIR MINDS.
Maybe even by then, you’ll notice your caps lock was on.
They started with 2050 deadline and have been gradually moved to earlier and earlier dates amid fast development of EV technology ,we already have 500+ miles vehicles in the pipeline for 2021 by Lucid and Tesla. I can’t imagine what numbers we will see after solid state batteries starting to rollout.
My guess is they continue to pull the deadline closer and closer and probably somewhere around 2028 virtually there will be no ICE car manufacturer nor the buyer in the market even before we reach to actual deadline.
It’s astonishing that as recently as last year anti-EV people still creep in comment sections and claiming EVs are never gonna be mainstream.
There are plenty of knuckle draggers on this board.
Captain Caveeeeemann!, why you’re here Mr. high-tech?…
To set you straight.
Set Pompousfornia straight first.
California won’t be around in 2035. The fires will burn it up or a earthquake or tsunami will destroy it.
California will still be there in 2035.
They will have either delayed or ignored this mandate, but they will still be around.
