California has over 2.1 million electric vehicles, with a significant portion of new cars sold being electric. In December, the state received federal permission to enforce regulations that mandate all new cars sold there be zero-emission by 2035. This move has sparked support from 17 other states aiming for similar standards. However, the Trump administration's recent executive order threatens to revoke this waiver, jeopardizing California's ambitious clean car goals. Despite this, California remains committed to defending its stricter vehicle emissions standards, emphasizing public health protection.
In December, California received special permission from the US government to enact regulations that would require automakers to sell only zero-emission new vehicles in the state by 2035.
The Trump administration seeks to terminate state emissions waivers that function to limit sales of gasoline-powered automobiles, putting California's clean car goals in jeopardy.
California's commitment to defending its emissions standards illustrates the ongoing conflict between state and federal authorities over environmental regulations.
California will continue to defend its longstanding right and obligation to protect the health of its residents, according to Liane Randolph.
