The California Air Resources Board is expected to approve a plan that will ban the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles in the state by the year 2035, making it the first state to do so.
There are two cars at a public charging station.
Daniel Sperling is a member of the California Air Resources Board.
A full ban on the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles in 2035 is part of the proposal that aims to gradually ramp up zero-emission car sales.
According to the New York Times, the new requirements could spur the federal government as well as more than a dozen states to adopt the same rules.
Electric vehicles make up less than 1% of SUVs, cars and small trucks used. According to the analysis, 45% of new car sales could be electric in the next two decades.
The governor of California issued an executive order in 2020 to phase out the sale of gasoline-powered cars. The California Air Resources Board had to come up with regulations. Several major automakers have pledged to increase sales and manufacturing of zero emission cars to help mitigate climate change, though they have also called on the federal government to help make sure there is adequate demand and supplies, such as critical minerals required to make electric vehicles, to do so. President Joe Biden signed a major climate and health care package last week that included $369 billion in spending on climate and energy programs and tax credits for new and used electric vehicle purchases. The administration wants to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40%. The Biden administration allowed the state to impose its own emission standards after the Trump administration revoked the Clean Air Act Waiver that allowed California to do so.
The new federal standard that the EPA plans to introduce next year may be helped by the California plan.
