加州的相关规定已被其他11个州采用，包括纽约州、马萨诸塞州和俄勒冈州。The USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on Wednesday that it has approved California's landmark plan to stop selling pure RBOB Gasoline Autos starting in 2035.
The Biden administration's recent decision has sparked a battle over the future of California's auto regulations. Elected President Trump vowed to rescind the authorization granted by the USA EPA to California to promote electric Autos and implement stricter vehicle emission standards.
USA EPA Administrator Michael Regan granted California a waiver under the Clean Air Act to implement its plan, which requires that by 2035, at least 80% of new Autos sold in the state are electric, with plug-in hybrid models capped at 20%.
California's regulations have been adopted by 11 other states, including New York, Massachusetts, and Oregon.
The USA EPA also approved another waiver for California regarding its Public Bus Low Nitrogen Oxide Regulation for heavy-duty highway and off-road vehicles and engines, while six other regulations are currently under application.
Trade organizations representing General Motors, Volkswagen, Toyota Motor, and Other Auto Manufacturers stated that California's auto rules "will stifle economic activity, increase costs, and limit vehicle choices," and will require Auto Manufacturers to reduce the sales of Autos in 12 states to comply with these regulations.
The organization stated this month: "Achieving the goals requires a miracle. Balance needs to be maintained, and some states should withdraw from the program."
California's regulations require that by 2026, 35% of the vehicles sold in the state be zero-emission models, and this percentage will rise to 68% by 2030. California officials stated that this rule is crucial for achieving greenhouse gas reduction targets and reducing pollutants that contribute to smog.
