California has officially become the first in the world to enforce a ban on the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035, following a public hearing on Thursday that ended with California Air Resources Board voting to approve the policy.
Automakers are now required to reduce the number of gas guzzlers they sell in order to reach the first quota of the plan that mandates 35 percent of new cars, SUVs and small pickups sold in California by 2026 be zero-emission vehicles.
The quota increases every two years, with 51 percent by 2028, 68 percent by 2030 and then 100 percent of all new vehicles sold should be

Answer to the age-old question, how did Californians get around before walking? They had cars.

Okay, so now they openly are telling Californians that they will not be able to buy new gas cars in twelve years. Twelve years out sounds like the rest of the doomsayers’ predictions about the end of the world, too, if you recall AOC’s climate hysterics. What could possibly prompt such an auto ban? They desire a run on EV’s, e.g., they want to promote the sale of EV’s instead of gas cars. To what end, though, when charging stations are few, when it takes forever to charge an EV if you’re on the road and can even find a station? It seems the cart is before the horse: If you want people to buy EVs, lower the price, invent a charger that will charge in the same time as it takes to fill a tank, and put those chargers at the same intervals as gas stations now are. THEN, ban gas cars, if you must. (Banning gas cars because of bogus environmental theories is a horrible idea to begin with, though. You don’t ban things because YOU don’t like them. That’s what happens in totalitarian countries.)

If the automakers were still patriotic and proud they would halt all sales in that state and increse dealers in bordering states. I feel for the few decent voters living in that state.

Plan for intelligent Californians:
1. Buy or rent petroleum powered car.
2. Move to another state.
3. Change political Parties.
4. Divest from Anything in California.
5. Return to the border, 2035, to Jeer in the New Year as California goes dark from an overloaded electrical grid.

The 'zero emissions' hobbyhorse conveniently overlooks the emissions that must be released in the production of the electricity on which these 'Hot Wheels' run.

This madness can only work if Calif also limits and then bans the sale of gasoline and diesel fuels. Current owners of gasoline powered cars and trucks will keep operating them while EV sales don’t come close to mandated percentages. What’s most troubling is that Calif is still a major agricultural state. Will farmers have to buy incredibly expensive EV tractors and other EV powered farm equipment that don’t exist at the moment? If you think we have food inflation now, just wait.

Californians must like the Rules they live under. They have done NOTHING to change things. Yes, a few try, but never succeed, so that says the Majority there like what they are forced to live with. Things will only change there when the VOTERS decide to make it happen!

Actually, this has nothing to do with energy. It has everything to do with making transportation so unreliable and incapable of hauling heavy stuff that Californians moving out will not have vehicles or trucks to rent the can haul their stuff out of the state. Shrewd move to keep people in!

When the already inadequate electric grid fails, and the EV's are sitting dead in garages and landfills, the brilliant elites of kalifornia will then turn to hydrogen power. They have almost as big a surplus of water as they do electricity!

The 35% mandate is just 3-1/2 years away. What happens if only 10% of car buyers are opting for EVs? Do they cut-off the supply of internal combustion engines? Some automakers don't have any EVs. Will they be forced out of business?

As goes California, so goes the auto industry. Chrysler and Ford are already discontinuing lines of petro-fueled vehicles. Want to buy a Charger or Challenger? Better stock up now. What next? To ban the domestic distribution of petro fuels refined in California? To even refine petroleum there? Place your bets...

California should just speed this up banning gas pumps that will stop the 'gas guzzlers' dead in their skid marks. All the illegals will go back to burrows and 'peds'. It must be nice to be an American living in California.

Don't they already have brownouts in CA because of the inadequate electric grid? Sure, let's add thousands of EVs to the mix and see how little electricity is left for anything else.
These people are truly nuts, and CA needs to fall into the ocean.

Because they won't upgrade the power grid to handle the extra demand, the solution will be for everyone to have a gasoline, diesel, or propane powered generator to charge their cars.

They had better get cracking on setting up a non-fossil, non-nuclear power grid. Good luck to them. I have no plans to go to California again so no worries for me.

#33 - The same organization has already banned gasoline- and diesel-powered portable generators by 2028. Lawn mowers and leaf blowers in less than two years. When 2024 arrives there will probably be a carve-out approved that exempts all the immigrant lawncare workers, though. Forcing them to use rakes and brooms would be racist.

Well with the amount of gasoline powered motor vehicles in California, for California to be successful with their electric vehicle scheme they are going to have the motor vehicle manufacturers to either produce self-charging motor vehicles where the electric vehicle recharges its battery while on the go, or have electric vehicles produced with portable batteries that can easily and quickly be removed from the vehicle and exchanged for a charged up battery at a battery exchange station anytime a battery runs down, just as gas powered motor vehicles are refueled at gas pumps today. The problem is who is going to build all those battery exchange stations, and how much would it cost to operate such an exchange station, and of course how much would it cost consumers to exchange a battery?

So will California eventually ban the use of vehicles with internal combustion engines within the state? What about farm machinery, trains, aircraft? How about the power plants that rely on petroleum fuels? Solar and wind are inadequate to meet California's power demands and present their own environmental issues. The new green deal is a fairy tale, completely unworkable, it's like putting Wile E Coyote in charge America's energy concerns. America needs to look at large nuclear facilities that each produce enough electricity to power a dozen or more states. They need to be located in sparsely populated areas with low seismic activity and stable consistent weather patterns. All of this green talk sounds nice but falls short on reality. Nuclear while presenting considerable hazards is the only source that can deliver on America's energy needs especially now with the development of EVs. EVs seem here to stay but will further stress our electricity supply. If California wants to lead on this issue they're going to have to solve some rather large problems instead of spouting inane "Green" mumbo jumbo.

Everyone here makes the correct arguments that there is no such thing an a zero emission car, and the problems with recharging, etc...... BUT everyone knows those things by now, including the tyrants who have a genetic need to control everyone else. This isn't a scientific argument; it's a political one.
Controlling our travel falls under one of the 3 dominant forms of control: food, health and energy. All very much under control of the federal government now. And you will like it.

What the Left are doing with their monopoly on governmental power in CA is unmistakably authoritarian, not to mention completely moronic and dishonest.
That notwithstanding, DM's sloppy use of English gives a little glimpse of a key part of today's mess in the U.S.
" first in the world to enforce a ban on the sale of new gasoline cars"
We're just skipping over all the details that provide coherence to our decisions and continuity to our management (and protect our freedoms: A rule can't be enforced until it's the law. And it isn't a law until it's enacted. And it isn't enacted until the Governor signs it. And he can't sign it until it's passed by the legislature..... California isn't enforcing this ban, they PASSED the ban and forwarded it to Governor Gruesome's desk for his signature.
DUE PROCESS can safeguard our rights only if it is kept intact, and both government and media are defeating the whole thing by skipping over things that are tedious or inconvenient.

The surprising thing to me is all the stupid, stupid, stupid states that have intentionally hooked their states to the damned CARB idiots, at least in emissions. Now...how many will follow with banning normal autos and trucks?
