It’s Official: Generator Ban Passes in California
RV Miles ^ | December 10, 2021 | Staff

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) passed a regulation aimed at “Small Off-Road Engines” on Thursday that will ban the sale of portable generators in the state — which includes generators mounted in recreational vehicles.

The ruling bans the sale of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawnmowers in the state beginning in 2024. Portable generators will be required to meet more stringent standards in 2024 and meet zero-emission standards starting in 2028.

In the 2024 model year, portable generators will have to improve their efficiency by somewhere between 40% and 90%, which seems unrealistic in such a short period of time, so the reality is, it will be very hard to find a generator in Calfornia in two years.

Construction crews are not going to like this.


Helluva good point. Generators are all over the place on any type of construction site.

Except our “betters”. They’ll hide the generators in auxiliary buildings. You know they aren’t going without.

They should all use battery operated equipment charged by solar and wind turbines, silly.

Years ago when Washington state Governor Dimslee was elected, he ordered all gas powered leaf blowers and trimmers off the crapital campus grounds.

So electric ones were purchased (lots of them). They did not have the power nor ability to run for very long. Within a few months, I noticed the gas ones were back.

Add Hospitals to your long list of industries that will not appreciate being tied solely to the unreliable California electric grid.

Take the worst that a HOA board can do, and you have the current California legislature.

That's the best description I've seen of any Democrat controlled legislature!!

Any manufacturing that can leave CA had better.

Let them do without.
