SEMA: California Issues Proposed Regulations to Ban Sale of New ICE-Powered Cars by 2035
ICE, ICE, Baby
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has issued a proposal to implement California Governor Newsom’s 2020 executive order to phase out the sale of new diesel- or gas-powered cars in the state by 2035. The proposal, summarized in the “initial statement of reasons” (ISOR), would require 35% of new cars, SUVs and small trucks sold to be zero-emissions starting in 2026, and increasing to 68% in 2030 and 100% in 2035. The proposal also sets first-time durability, warranty and other provisions on zero-emissions vehicles.
If adopted, the regulations could lead the way for at least 15 other states that have pledged to follow California’s standard for previous clean-car rules to adopt similar proposals. The sale of used cars would not be affected under the proposal, and it would not force the current fleet of diesel- or gas-powered vehicles off the road.
The public comment period is open until May 31, followed by a hearing on June 9. CARB is expected to vote on the proposal in August.
