It could be a big win for EVs if the Biden administration allows California to end gas car sales by 2035.
The Environmental Protection Agency is reportedly considering a waiver allowing California to enforce its ban on combustion vehicle sales by 2035. If the waiver is accepted, it will be part of the Biden administration's historic clean energy efforts. The incoming Trump administration will likely attempt to block the gas car ban, but could run into delays and legal hurdles.
California used to have the most polluted air in the country historically, but things changed dramatically after the Clean Air Act of the 1970s that allowed the EPA to grant the state a waiver to set its own emissions standards to curb pollution. Now California is the biggest market in America for EVs and its efforts to move away from gas cars are recognized worldwide.
