California has approved a policy that will require nearly all new vehicles sold in the state to be electric by the year 2035. California Governor Gavin Newsom first announced the proposed policy in September 2020. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted last week to officially approve the new rules. The policy requires 100 percent of new sales of cars, trucks and SUVs to be powered by electricity or hydrogen by 2035. It permits one-fifth of new vehicle sales to be hybrids. The policy does not ban the use of gas-powered cars or the sale of used ones. If the new rules work as designed, California would cut vehicle emissions in half by 2040. The state’s emissions rules are already stronger than national requirements.
