The groundbreaking new proposal would require all new cars sold in California to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035.
California already"enjoys the largest zero-emission vehicle market in the nation with more than 16% of new vehicles sold being zero-emissions or plug-in hybrids," according to the proposal., and carbon dioxide is one of seven greenhouse gases that the ARB is responsible for monitoring and regulating to help mitigate climate change.
The Advanced Clean Cars II proposal would also tighten standards on emissions from gasoline cars and passenger trucks, and add regulations to warranties and serviceability on electric vehicles to ensure drivers who make the switch to electric cars are getting their money's worth. The goal is to support"100% electrification by 2035" in the transportation sector, reducing the number of air pollutants and providing a bonus boost to public health and the economy"by reducing premature deaths, hospitalizations and lost workdays associated with exposure to air pollution," according to the ARB.
Californians with gasoline cars can continue to use them, and gasoline cars can still be bought and sold used, according to Newsom's 2020 executive order. However, the ARB proposal mentions rebates and other incentives for those who want to make the switch to an EV or PHEV. With the price of gas soaring, it might be time to look into buying an electric vehicle. And the cost might be more affordable than you may think. LX News storyteller Eric Rodriguez talks to experts to find out how the purchase price, incentives, and charging costs break down.If it passes, the rest of the U.S. transportation sector could see ripple effects, with a greater focus on affordable electric vehicles as the huge -- and influential -- California market changes its emission requirements.
