California Did It: Vote has banned new gas car sales after 2035:
It's fair to say today's rule is CARB's most drastic change in its 55-year history. The exact details of the rule have not been finalized, but a total ban on new gas- and diesel-powered vehicle sales is something completely different for the U.S. Questions remain about how PHEVs will be treated after 2035 and how states that have agreed to follow CARB's ZEV rules will react. CARB will also need to submit its new regulations to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Despite the big step that ACCII represents, the rules are based in reality. First, there will still be plenty of vehicles that burn gasoline and diesel on California’s roads in 2035 and beyond. Unless there’s a similar federal rule coming , anyone will still be able to buy a gas car in another state and register it with the California DMV. Gas and diesel vehicles will still be allowed to be resold in California as used vehicles. Obviously, they'll also still be allowed to drive in the state.
CARB and the Advanced Clean Cars II are not perfect, but the Board has a history of success. Without past CARB regulations, we wouldn't have gotten the hybrids, hydrogen cars, and electric vehicles we have today. We probably wouldn’t have Tesla or the Ford F-150 Lightning, the Nissan Leaf, or startups like Rivian and Lucid. We most likely wouldn’t have. We might not even have had an EV Of The Year award to give out.
U.S. car buyers can choose any of these EVs, in part, because CARB has spent decades bending the industry to its will. Emissions regulations in Europe and China have also encouraged EV development, and the industry responded to all of these government pressure points by investing billions of dollars into designing new EV models, developing better batteries and establishing a growing number of production facilities to build all these cars.
Then there's Toyota, which has never been a strong promoter of battery-electric vehicles. The automaker introduced its first real all-electric model, the
