According to new regulations enacted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which oversees the state’s motor vehicle emissions, 35% of new automobiles sold in the state by 2026 must be electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, and that number must increase to 68% by 2030 and 100% by 2035.
Other states are permitted to adopt California’s restrictions, which are often stricter than the federal criteria since it has received a waiver from the federal government allowing it to set its own air quality rules.
If CARB enacted a ban on the sale of gas-powered vehicles, regulations would have already been established in Massachusetts and Washington.
“This is a significant turning point in the fight against global warming. By 2030, Washington enacted a rule requiring zero emissions from all new car sales, and by the end of this year, we’ll be ready to embrace California’s regulations. “Before the CARB’s final judgment, Inslee wrote.
With over 100,000 registered electric vehicles and 8% of all registrations in July being EVs, Washington has one of the greatest per capita densities in the United States.
Although they have not yet made official announcements regarding electric car mandates, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington D.C. currently abide by CARB regulations on vehicle emissions.
According to Republican Rep. Andy Barkis, the ranking member of the Washington House’s transportation committee, the internal combustion engine, the campaign to outlaw internal combustion engines would harm producers and consumers.
Everything revolves around control and the issues that will result from this insanity. 1. Class discrimination – These transient cars will only be affordable to the elite and certain lingering upper-middle-class individuals. 2. Self-jail – When widespread power outages occur, people are confined to their homes and are in self-jail. 3. Environmental problems are getting worse – The environmental catastrophe is caused by disposing of outdated batteries. This, combined with the loss of freedoms, results in communism.
