The California zero-emission vehicle sales mandates are set to begin next year, requiring 35% of new passenger vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2026. This initiative stems from Governor Gavin Newsom's 2020 executive order, which mandates all new car sales to be zero-emission by 2035. Despite the ambitious goals, California's car dealers express skepticism about consumer acceptance of electric vehicles at the required volume. However, officials from the California Air Resources Board remain confident that the targets can be met as the state works towards reducing air pollution and combating climate change.
