California has always been a leader in environmental policies, and it made headlines in 2022 by approving the Advanced Clean Cars II rule. This regulation requires all new passenger cars sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035, according to Reuters. Given California’s history of strict emissions laws and its massive influence on the auto market, this move is expected to set a nationwide precedent. The state is also investing heavily in EV infrastructure to support this transition.
Beyond policy, California has long battled smog and air pollution, especially in cities like Los Angeles. The ban on new gas-powered car sales aligns with its aggressive climate change goals. Automakers selling in the state are already preparing for the shift, with companies like Tesla benefiting from its strong EV incentives. As the world’s fourth-largest economy, California’s decision carries global significance.
