New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul announced Thursday there will be “no more excuses” not to buy an electric vehicle after directing the State Department of Environmental Conservation to take significant action to accelerate the state’s transition to clean transportation to protect the environment.
In White Plains, New York, Governor Hochul outlined the state’s new ambitious clean energy and climate goals. The most important takeaway is all new vehicles sold in the state of New York will now need to be zero-emission by 2035, the same requirement that was set in California by the state’s new Advanced Clean Cars II regulation.
California Air Resources Board (CARB) predicts California’s new regulation will cut emissions by 50% between 2026 and 2040. Since it passed, 18 other states have followed in California’s footsteps, adopting California’s Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) and Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandates, with New York being the most recent.

No fossil fuel vehicles aloud in the state to deliver food. Everyone in that city will die. HaHaHa
I read an article yesterday on American Thinker site speculating on how the evacuation ahead of Ian would have gone if all the vehicles were electric. Would not have been good. Think desperate people, loaded with their necessities and treasures, heading onto the roadway and depending on recharging along the way.
The auto manufacturers need to tell that dizzy New Yawk broad, “Good luck with that, chickadee.” Let New Yawk meet their own deadline.
So it’s true, there is someone who is more stupid than Andy Cuomo.
You can’t have life unless you have some form of the excretions or emissions, zero emissions is a physical impossibility.
Irony (not):
Oregon announced basically the same thing via its DEQ bureaucracy (and same year target).
Science is how one feels now.
...on the SAME DAY.
The Democrat/Communist politicians in New York are mindlessly doing what Newsom the Vile demands they must do to support his delusional quest for the presidency.
New York is lost. Thankfully, and God willing, I’ll be taking my ICE vehicles with me to a Red state long before 2035.
I own an EV.
This is bat-shit crazy.
What a crock of crap. Neither New York or California have the electrical infrastructure to support millions of vehicles plugged in at night nor plans to build those facilities. And there isn’t enough lithium and cobalt to put in them either.
Yep, government creates the problem where none existed before and the solution is. of course, more government mandates and more taxes and less freedom for the people.
Then when their “solution” doesn’t work, instead of backing off and admitting defeat, the government doubles down with a new “solution” that will only make the problem worse.
Why isn’t she mandating that All government Vehicles that use any type of petroleum product be immediately scrapped and replace with EV’s?? While you are at it, make it a FELONY for any Public Employee to use, own or possess any Item, Product or vehicle that uses any petroleum product...
these people are frikking nuts
Did her edict also include thousands of recharging stations must be built by 2035? How about all apartments and condominiums must install at least one charger per unit at no charge to the occupant? Or all employers must offer free charging to their employees?
Are they counting the emissions caused by manufacturing the batteries?
and when they install their version of the Chinese Communist Party’s social credit score system they’ll watch every move you make
Government Motors will be disaster
Exactly, another BAD government mandate, there oughta be a law.
