California to end gas-powered car sales by 2035
On Thursday, a California regulator approved rules to end gas-only car sales in the state by 2035, according to The Sacramento Bee.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved regulations that would require 35% of vehicles sold in California to be electric by 2026. By 2035, all cars should be electric, the outlet noted .
Additionally, there is a fine of $20,000 per vehicle for failing to comply with vehicle manufacturer rules.
The vote was expected because, as the newspaper noted, Governor Gavin Newsom controls a majority of the board, and he issued an executive order in 2020 that required all cars sold in California not to produce emissions by 2035.< /p>
But it was still revolutionary: California, often a green leader, should be the first state to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles.
"It's transformative," Daniel Sperling, CARB fellow and founding director of the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies, told The Bee.
You will still be able to ride a Guzzler in the golden state. But, it will become more difficult to do so, the outlet noted.
The state will certainly face challenges when these rules come into force. First, there probably aren't enough electric charging stations in the state, and second, it might be more difficult for low-income people to buy electric vehicles, the paper notes.
There are approximately 43,000 electric charging stations in the United States, according to Reuters. The average electric car costs $66,000, according to Electrek.
