EPA Approves California's Gas Car Ban

  • California wants to require all cars to be EVs, hydrogen-powered or plug-in hybrids by 2035.
  • The Environmental Protection Agency just approved the regulation, giving California the green light to start ratcheting up EV quotas.
  • But Trump has promised to end the "EV mandate," and the EPA waiver is unlikely to survive his next term as president.

The Biden Administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has green-lighted California's Advanced Clean Cars II regulations, effectively approving the state's proposes gas car ban. With 11 other states already committed to adopting the regulations and the first set of requirements taking effect in 2026, this will have a seismic impact on the U.S. auto market.
