California's emissions regulations significantly impact the U.S. auto industry, with many states adopting its stricter standards. Recent actions by Trump to block California's ban on gas-powered cars could reshape the future of electric vehicles. California's push for zero-emission vehicles by 2035 is now challenged at the federal level. Trump's stance reflects a conflict of states' rights versus federal authority, potentially hindering a major transition to electric vehicles despite a growing demand for cleaner automotive options.
"It is the federal government, not states, that should establish vehicle emissions standards, given the inherently interstate nature of air quality; a patchwork of state vehicle regulations on this subject is unworkable."
"Trump threatens what could've been a widespread shift to EVs in this country, especially since 12 other states follow California's lead in emissions standards."
