California Fights Back Against Federal Rollback of EV Mandates | JQJO

President Trump's administration repealed California's zero-emission vehicle mandates, including a 2035 ban on new gas-only cars and federal tax credits. This prompted California Governor Gavin Newsom to reaffirm the state's commitment to its emissions goals. A state report proposes restoring state subsidies for zero-emission vehicles, using funds from the cap-and-trade program, and expanding charging infrastructure. The report also recommends incentivizing electric vehicle adoption through various measures, including preferential access to toll lanes. California officials are determined to maintain their environmental agenda, despite federal opposition, and are developing Advanced Clean Cars III regulations.
