LOS ANGELES — Buy a car in California in 2035 and you won’t have to decide between gasoline, diesel or electric. You won’t have a choice.
Citing an urgent need to address climate change while cutting back on air pollution, the California Air Resources Board voted Thursday to require all new cars and light trucks sold by 2035 to be zero-emission vehicles.
Lauren Sanchez, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s climate adviser, called it “a huge day not only for California but the the entire world.”
