California Vows to Ban Sale of New Gasoline-Powered Passenger Vehicles in 2035

September 23, 2020

 

WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES—California plans to ban the sale of new gasoline powered passenger cars and trucks starting in 2035 in a dramatic move to shift to electric vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday.

 

Newsom told a press conference the state was committing to a “firm goal” to phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035 and was encouraging other states to take similar action.

 

Newsom’s order labeled the elimination of gasoline-powered vehicles a “goal” and a “target” after his office said earlier his order would require the sale of nothing but zero emission passenger vehicles starting in 2035.

 

The move would be the most significant to date by a U.S. state aimed at ending the use of internal combustion engines for passenger travel.

 

California is the largest U.S. auto market, accounting for about 11 percent of all U.S. vehicle sales, and many states choose to adopt its green vehicle mandates.

 

Newsom also wants the state legislature to stop issuing new permits to allow the use of hydraulic fracturing technology for oil and gas drilling by 2024.

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has sought to bar California from requiring the sale of electric vehicles, while his rival Joe Biden has pledged to spend billions to speed the adoption of electric vehicles.

 

California said it was joining 15 countries that have made similar pledges, including Britain.

 

California’s clean vehicle goals have not always come to pass and in some cases have been pushed back.

 

Newsom said the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will develop regulations to mandate that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks are zero-emission by 2035, which would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent. The board also plans to mandate by 2045 that all operations of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles be zero emission where feasible.
