More than a third of new passenger cars and trucks sold in California in 2025 would have to be zero-emission vehicles in 2025 under a new proposal from the California Air Resources Board.
To get there, electric cars would have to nearly triple last year's market share of 13% in four years.
The 35% mandate would mark a major step toward the total ban on sales of new vehicles with internal combustion engines starting in 2035 under an order issued two years ago by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The mandate would hit 68% by 2030.
