ElectricationWere just Starting to Electrifying our transportation system. Hold on to your shares. Copilot- Several U.S. states are taking significant steps toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting cleaner transportation. By 2035, they plan to ban the sale of new vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (ICE). Here’s a look at some of these states: California: In November 2022, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved the Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) II rule. This regulation aims for 35% of new passenger vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2026, 68% by 2030, and 100% compliance by 2035. CARB is also working on regulations to promote zero-emission operation of medium and heavy-duty trucks by 20451. Connecticut: Connecticut adopted California’s emission standards for cars and light-duty trucks in 2004. They plan to follow the path to ban the sale of ICE cars by 20351. Oregon: Last year, Oregon joined California and Washington as the third West Coast state to adopt the Advanced Clean Cars II rules. Like the other states, Oregon will require that a significant percentage of new vehicles be zero-emission by 20301. New York: Starting in 2035, New York will ban the sale of ICE cars and light-duty trucks. Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill implementing this future ban2. Washington: Washington state has also embraced the Advanced Clean Cars II rules, aiming for increased zero-emission vehicle adoption by 20301. Other States: Additionally, several other states, including Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia, have committed to electrifying a significant portion of their truck and bus fleets by 20303. These efforts reflect a growing commitment to cleaner transportation and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels
