The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially granted California's request to phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Initially outlined by the California government in 2020, this ambitious plan mandates that all newly sold passenger cars, SUVs, and small pickup trucks in the state must achieve zero emissions by 2035, with a provision allowing up to 20% of sales to be plug-in hybrid vehicles. Securing this exemption from the EPA was crucial for California to move forward with its goal. Despite this regulatory green light, claims that the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to reject California's plan have yet to be substantiated by authoritative sources.
