The California Air Resources Board will vote on the measure Thursday afternoon, board member Daniel Sperling told CNN.
Sperling added he was "99.9%" confident the measure would pass. If it does, it would be one of the first such bans worldwide. It also could have major implications for the US car market, given how large California's economy is. "This is monumental," Sperling said. "This is the most important thing that CARB has done in the last 30 years. It's important not just for California, but it's important for the country and the world."
The board's new rules also would set interim quotas for zero-emission vehicles, focusing on new models. Starting with 2026 models, 35% of new cars, SUVs and small pickups sold in California would be required to be zero-emission vehicles. That quota would increase each year, expected to reach 51% of all new car sales in 2028, 68% in 2030 and 100% in 2035. The quotas also would allow 20% of zero-emission cars sold to be plug-in hybrids.
AirResources This plan is going to be a total flop. Most people don't want an EV.
AirResources We will need nuclear energy to keep up demand for electricity. We have rolling blackouts still when it’s hot. We will need to be taxed again to be able to pay for new infrastructure to support this arbitrary goal.
AirResources This plan is unrealistic and based on misguided politics, not science. CA electric grid will need to burn more coal to support it.
AirResources This is dumb
AirResources They better put in more charging stations if that's going to be the case.
AirResources Power grid won’t be able to handle it. What will happen when there’s no gas tax?
AirResources Should we all charge our EV if this happens?
AirResources This 🥰
AirResources Even though that’s done with good intent call mom in reality it’s going the same California back to the Stone Age
AirResources More solar panels!!
AirResources I think the old Vespa Is the way to go or motor scooter
AirResources After I am dead they are to be banded from selling. So you can still have. Oh ar power outage lol your screwed. Lol
AirResources They have plently of time to get it together! If they are voting for such bill they should include a plan on how they will upgrade the power grid
AirResources Those gas cars are expensive to buy and heard to fix unbelievable if solar things are free or almost free then California the none gas cars should be as well especially telling people by a date money gotta come from ?
AirResources Sorry poor immigrants. You won’t be able to afford a new car. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
AirResources Image needs to be updated for clarification as written in the tweet: ban new *sales* of gas cars.
AirResources Bye bye to $$ spent on oil changes & $$$ engine repairs. EV have practically no maintenance. Plus, Ford is working right now with PG&E to store extra Solar power in truck batteries.😍
AirResources Not controversial at all whenever Ford Motor Co agrees with the plan.
AirResources Should be done by 2030
AirResources Defund the air resources board. Who elected them? No one!!
AirResources My neighborhood loses power when too many people use their air conditioner at the same time... That's nowhere the amount of energy it'll take to charge all of these cars every day ..
AirResources Lmao 🤡s run the 🎪 … we need to stop attending these shows
AirResources No
AirResources But they keep telling us to conserve power during certain times during hot days ?
AirResources Lol. Yeah right then we have a giant power outage. You need solar panels on ever house in order to power all the vehicles that are going to be used, those little power plugs at local shops are not enough to power all the cars. Why pay for panels and a car r we rich? 😉 elonmusk
AirResources Where are these brand new electrical grids going to be built? Because you will always have people saying not in my neighborhood.
AirResources This on the very-same power grid that can’t even handle the current electrical-load during peak usage? Rolling blackouts here we come! 😂
AirResources Can they finish construction on the 5 freeway first?!
AirResources I hope there are lawsuits. People can't be forced to buy what they can't afford-a $60,000 electric car.
AirResources Sure....
AirResources Such bullshit
AirResources This should go to a vote by Californians not by these rich moneyed entitled politicians. A lot of people won’t be able to afford these kind of vehicles. And the California power grid won’t be able to supply the increase demand for electricity.
AirResources Well that’s good bc the registration on cars is ridiculous just move out of the state. California will miss out on so much revenue it will be ridiculous. Boneheads😂
AirResources This is about democrats lining their pockets because their stocks are in that industry, nothing to do with the environment. All a cash grab
AirResources What’s the plan for the electric grid? How is CA going to support all the electricity need to charge these cars?
AirResources They can’t handle what we have now! So I can see electric cars waiting for electric tow trucks all along the side of roads because of the rolling black outs!
AirResources I’m sure the geniuses have a comprehensive plan to massively improve the electrical grid to compensate for the new requirement - not!
AirResources Awesome! Looking forward to the SDG&E flex alerts, don’t turn anything on and don’t drive anywhere that requires charging. Not to mention we pay the absolute highest in the country for electricity and rates will only go up. Plus half the DC fast chargers are out of order.
AirResources So they warn people about consuming power and they have rolling brown-outs yet they want more people to use more electricity. Got it!
AirResources Didn’t we just have a Flex Alert from the hours of 4pm-9pm? Those are the hours we’re told that people plug in their cars. Need major electrical grid work to accomplish this or they’ll keep using natural gas to generate power. Short sighted
AirResources Can you imagine the power outages and being stuck on the road because you can't get a charge.
AirResources Again. No planning about the electric grid. Our government fails the state
AirResources The states power grid can’t even handle AC’s on a hot summers day.
AirResources 🤦🏻♀️
AirResources Of course we can handle it. This is California you are talking about. We lead the way.
AirResources When electricity is the highest bill in my household many are not gonna be able to afford the increase in power rates ..you all think gas is high now just wait til the power companies are in charge of your vehicles!
AirResources EV’s are BORING. The ban on gasoline powered vehicles will destroy the sports car/aftermarket car industry. They are also impossible to do your own repairs on which means more money to dealers out of our pockets when it needs to be repaired or maintained. Bad Idea, vote no.
AirResources What happened to FREE CHOICE does that only apply to somethings not all..we allow encampments because its their choice to live on the streets..but we will be unable to drive a car of our choice?
AirResources Short answer: NO
AirResources At least there’re not banning Motorcycle’s 🏍 OPPS I should keep my mouth shut. Motorcycle’s R next.
AirResources We can’t even keep the AC on without “Rolling Black outs”. How in the heck are we going to be able to charge everyone’s car in the state and cool off our homes in the summer?
AirResources Because we can all afford Shtlas
AirResources Electrical grid can’t even support us as it is….
AirResources We can’t even use appliances past 4pm. How are we gonna charge cars? 😂😂😂
AirResources how are people in apartments supposed to recharge their car at night?
AirResources
AirResources When is the rest of the world jumping on this plan? What emissions problem will this solve on a global scale? The cars sold in California are almost zero emissions now. is it a save the world plan or Just another feel good BS plan . Let the people decide when to go electric.
AirResources
AirResources Americans, say no to this scam!! This isn’t about saving the planet, this about taking away your right to travel freely. Understand what is at stake here! These communist Democrats are after your freedoms under the name of climate change.
AirResources Hybrids should be ok !!! I really hope so. Bc all ev is unrealistic
AirResources I guess I'll go to Arizona and buy there 🤷🏼♂️🤣
AirResources Do it. Anything after 2024 I'm good with. Ban all cars, triple gas taxes, free the thieves and jackers, steal all the road repair money for state workers pension, let men in thongs read stories to toddlers in the schools. Do not care. Do it all. Just after 2024 please.
AirResources Hyundai let’s ramp up solar cars
AirResources They need more plugin hybrid vehicles instead fully electric .looking at pple earing less than 80k year can not afford electric car that cost now days from 80k to 120k where plugin hybrid starts at 28k pple making 40k or less can easily afford those cars
AirResources how come 'we the people' who are the actual customers not allowed to vote on this BS? how come we are only allowed to vote for bills/people that George Soros funds Why hasn't daylight saving time been deleted after being voted out?
AirResources Breh Cali residents can’t even use the ac at the same time cause we get black outs
AirResources This is a farce and nothing but a high windfall for the 3 electric providers in California.
AirResources These MF. It's going to take forever to get to where you need to go on a road trip. It takes 5 minutes to fill a tank and go. It takes 15 minutes or more to power your EV.Also, you have people leaving there freaking cars charging behind and come hours later for them.
AirResources When the power grid can handle everyone's AC then look into it after you pay for solar panels. And Not Before......
AirResources I'm so sick of CA trying to be first at everything. They'll end up backpedaling in five years.
AirResources I hope the state will give us vouchers to purchase these wonderful electric vehicles and have businesses install solar panels and charging stations all over the state so it's easy for everyone to own these reliable electric vehicles
AirResources You think gas prices are high just imagine your electrical bill the state is going to off set the cost on all Cali Residence good luck
AirResources What a group of arrogant pinheads. The nanny state continues to sit and tell the rest of us how we need to live.
AirResources We want Gas & Oil!
AirResources Truly great concept…but creating a whole different set of problems. No, the power grid will not be able to routinely and reliably support this, causing mass transportation problems and related crises.
AirResources Our grid COULD NOT handle this. We can barely serve all the charging stations we have. Edison cant keep up with all the new construction let alone with something that has enough draw as an EVCS type 3.
AirResources Fauci Logic = Just lettuce wrap every car.
AirResources State needs to provide free solar panels to every house apartment complex otherwise huge fail
AirResources There isn’t a single person that agrees with this. None.
AirResources Yes👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
AirResources This is beyond asinine! It doesn't even make sense.... our power grid can't handle that... just look at all the bow outs CA has
