California is banning sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has made urgent calls this year for sweeping actions to
curb carbon emissions as massive wildfires have devastated the West Coast,
signed an order Wednesday aimed at helping to phase out combustion vehicles in
the nation’s most populous state. The measure targets ending the sale of new
gasoline- and diesel-powered passenger cars in California by 2035. The
Democratic governor said transitioning to zero-emissions vehicles would
significantly reduce the state’s greenhouse gas output, about half of which
comes from transportation. Currently, less than 10% of all new vehicle sales in
the state are electric. A leading auto-manufacturing lobbying group voiced
support for expanding electric offerings but called for more consumer
incentives and infrastructure investments to boost demand.
