New York State to Ban Sale of Gasoline-Powered Vehicles by 2035. Move aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions follows California’s recently approved regulations
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 29, 2022 | Joseph Pisani

New York state is banning the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035, in a move officials say is aimed at cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and getting more electric vehicles on the road.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said Thursday that she was directing the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation to implement the regulations. Those regulations will be filed by the end of the year, a spokeswoman for the governor said.

Ms. Hochul, who first announced the goal last year, said the state couldn’t move forward until California officially approved its own regulations—which it did last month, banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035.

“We had to wait for California to take a step because there’s some federal requirement California had to go first,” she said at a press conference Thursday.

The Clean Air Act of 1970 granted California the ability to set its own environmental rules, and other states can choose to adopt them.

Like California, New York’s rules would apply to all new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs, Ms. Hochul said. The regulations would establish annual targets for the share of zero-emission vehicles auto makers must sell in the state, starting at 35% in 2026, ramping up to 68% by 2030, and 100% by 2035. Many car makers have already said they are working toward an eventual phaseout of gas-powered vehicles.

Ms. Hochul said New York towns and cities can apply for grants to help them buy zero-emission vehicles for their fleets, as well as help them build electric-vehicle charging stations.

Full article. Zeldin (running for governor of NY against Hochul) and his supporters should publicize this.

“Zeldin (running for governor of NY against Hochul) and his supporters should publicize this. “

I agree with you - this is a HANGING CURVEBALL, as rule number one for Democrats is to do your damage in the first 6 months of your term. Otherwise voters will REMEMBER.

So for this, frame it as a middle class tax increase and simply compare the prices of gasoline versus electric. Also show clips of people plugging in their cars in freezing cold and their phones telling them that they need 3 hours to charge.

RE: Teslas for persons of color....

Many employed people couldn’t afford a premium cell phone and plan but the Obamaphones for welfare recipients were given without hesitation.

Give some Teslas or 75% discounts ONLY to persons of color.
Like the full scholarships for them.

California and New York can each wear gag t shirts and point to each other:

What I read was NY and CA are going to shut down to become pre-industrial cave dwellers.

Every major car company makes EV’s now, some cost less than $30k. But I am never buying one. I can’t even remember to charge my phone battery on time. I can visualize me stranded somewhere with dead battery. And then the car will need to be towed to the nearest charging station.

Many communities allow golf carts on streets. I owned a battery powered golf cart for 15 years when I belonged to a private course which had a cart barn to park carts complete with charging facilities. Those carts were a work horse. 36 holes between charges was no problem.

2034 will be, by far, the biggest year in the history of new automobile sales in the United States. Or at least in New York and California.

And people will plan on driving those cars for 20 years. And them moving out of state.

2035 will be the worst new auto sales ever in NY and CA.

This is so predictable
