California on Thursday is expected to put into effect its sweeping plan to prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035, a groundbreaking move that could have major effects on the effort to fight climate change and accelerate a global transition toward electric vehicles.
“This is huge,” said Margo Oge, an electric vehicles expert who headed the Environmental Protection Agency’s transportation emissions program under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. “California will now be the only government in the world that mandates zero-emission vehicles. It is unique.”
The rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board, will require that 100 percent of all new cars sold in the state by 2035 be free of the fossil fuel emissions chiefly responsible for warming the planet, up from 12 percent today. It sets interim targets requiring that 35 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in the state by 2026 produce zero emissions. That would climb to 68 percent by 2030.

This was done by the administrative state not the legislature. This will also impact availability of cars for the whole country. WE are almost at the stage where voting doesn’t matter.
ROTFL! LOL! Idiots.
Climate Change Is A LIE: The United States Temperature Has NOT Risen In 17 Years
Well, that will kill most of commercial business that depends on interstate transportation, where most vehicles coming from other states won’t be allowed into California.
Transportation will be one-way: out of California.
What? The flood of Californians leaving the state isn’t big enough? Seems like the state is heading for three classes of people: 1) Wealthy Tesla owners 2) Illegals 3) Homeless living in tents. This ought to be all the proof many will need to finally make the decision gtfo of Cali.
This is how dumb assed Democrats lose California.
Of course ALL of them KNOW this will not be implemented.
They just want to virtue signal now.
What a load of crap. California has Bumpkiss for a power grid and can[’t support electric cars.
That means only those earning more than 300 grand a year can have them.
And not only that, the rest of the poor peasants will not be allowed to use their gas paowerd older vehicles. So the peasantry will not ever be mobile again. Freedom of movement will be restricted. And the peasants will have to use mass transit.
So much FUN living in a commie 3rd world country.
Workers of the World! UNTIE!
Too bad probably no company in the right mind would want to build the means to supply those EVs with electricity.
I suggest donkey carts painted in Mexican style colors and pulled by Democratic politicians to get around.
who knew that the amish were way ahead of their time?
Got to do with where choo choo go?
Gavin isn’t out of step, the rest of America is, or is it the reverse?
Before Kalifornia Governor Grey Davis was recalled, he and the democRATS in the Kalifornia Legislature mandated that 10% of all cars sold in Kalifornia be electric. This was years before Tesla, 2002,2003. So... When it became obvious that there was no way to make people purchase something, and the number of electric cars actually sold was no where near 10%, Governor Davis ‘bought’ (with other people’s money, taxes) enough electric cars to state that the 10% goal was accomplished. Kind of like the old Soviet 5 year plans, where they altered the plan, or just plain lied, to state ‘success.’
Also, they keep bragging about faster and faster charging stations, and faster charging times. The faster one charges present day batteries, shorter the overall life span of the battery.
so they commit economic suicide...uh i mean ban gas cars
but how do they enforce the interim goals?
35% in 2026
68% in 2030
i like how you think
dont spare the whip
they promise the jetsons
you get the flinstones
if people are pushed onto mass transit
what happens to businesses that are not on a bus route
or near a train/subway station?
sometimes i just feel like they have not thought this through
“where most vehicles coming from other states won’t be allowed into California.”
Where does it say gasoline cars are forbidden in CA? The proposal say the SALE of gasoline cars to end. in other words, go to a neighboring state to get your car.
I live in California. the state is going to crash really bad. before 2035
But then try to register that out of state purchase.
