New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Signs Law Requiring Zero-Emission Vehicles By 2035

Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation Wednesday requiring all new passenger cars and trucks sold in the state to be zero-emissions by 2035.

Under the new law, new off-road vehicles and equipment sold in New York are also targeted to be zero-emissions by 2035, and new medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles by 2045. The law further requires the state’s Energy Research and Development Authority to create a zero-emissions vehicle development strategy by 2023.

Last NY resident to leave, please shut off the light... oh,yeah... never mind.

Upstate NY has been depopulating for the last 50 years. NY is a totally leftist state, controlled by NY City and, ironically, funded from state skimmings from Wall Street and its Oligarchs, and Fed.gov money every time an economic crisis occurs.

At the rate the country is going we will all be living in caves throwing excrement at each other by then, so this sounds doable!

Electric cars are NOT “zero emission”!

COAL!!!!

And their production uses Chinese materials, and is also far from “zero emission”!

Better stick to gasoline-powers vehicles! PHOOEY!!!!

Looks like a lot of car dealers need to make plans to relocate to the border of New York for future sales.

"And when the power goes out after a hurricane or blizzard?"

How will those batteries perform in conditions where running a heater is necessary for life?

If NYS was totally leftist Deep State wouldn’t need to steal our elections.

And it has.

“...all new passenger cars and trucks sold in the state to be zero-emissions by 2035...”


Will the power plants they’re plugged into also be zero emissions?

Interesting reasoning, considering:
I’ve noticed that in NY, personal trucks/SUVs are rare ... while in GA, they make up 2/3rds of everything on the roads. NY has already made it unpalatable to “buy that medium duty truck”.

Which leads to my recurring observation in many circumstances: when one is relentlessly told they can do nothing right, one becomes inclined to doing the single thing they know they can do right - nothing.

NY has made gas-guzzlers and high-emission vehicles prohibitively expensive to drive.
NY is making sedans & smaller cars outright illegal to sell.
NY geography & weather is not friendly to electric vehicles (and I’m an EV enthusiast) nor mass transit nor individual vehicles (motorcycles, bicycles, etc).
That leaves transportation options of ... nothing.

The upstate population numbers show that people are voting with their feet:

Buffalo maxed out their population at 580,000 in 1950.
Currently the population is 278,000.

Rochester: 332,000 in 1950, now 211,000.

Syracuse: 220,000 in 1950, now 148,000

Albany (state capital): 134,000 in 1950, now 99,000.

That is what the leftists call “progress”.

Next make a law requiring cars to have NEGATIVE emissions. Take the pollution out of the air.
