On August 25th, California’s Air Resources Board voted unanimously to finalize its Advanced Clean Cars II regulations, which aim to phase out the sale of conventional internal combustion vehicles and hybrids by 2035. The carefully crafted regulatory framework is a masterpiece of rulemaking, reflecting the insight of an agency known throughout the world as a leader in environmental stewardship. The historic decision is also a victory for the collaborative rulemaking process, garnering supportive statements from a diverse group of stakeholders that includes the world’s major automakers.

While some argue that the 2035 target date is unrealistic, ardent electric vehicle fans have the opposite complaint, insisting that the transition could be completed as early as 2030. The deadline reflects the sound judgment of Governor Gavin Newsom, who set the wheels in motion for the agency’s proposal when he signed Executive Order N-79-20 in September of 2020. Newsom’s politically courageous order established the 2035 goal and directed the Air Resources Board to hammer out an appropriate, viable regulatory framework. Many other nations have adopted similar ZEV mandates with target dates that range from 2030 to 2040, and automakers are planning to electrify their fleets during the same time frame. Several other states are expected to adopt California’s framework.
