Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an order that is aggressively targeted toward clean-car policy in the United States. California will ban the sales of all gasoline-powered cars by 2035 to reduce the effect of greenhouse gas emissions and driving electric cars.
Big problems demand bold solutions.
We’re in the midst of a climate crisis. We’re not waiting around for the federal government.
So yes, by 2035 every new car sold in CA will be an emission free vehicle.
It’s simple–cars shouldn’t give our kids asthma or make wildfires worse.

In a statement, Governor Newsom said “This is the most impactful step our state can take to fight climate change,” and added “For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe. Californians shouldn’t have to worry if our cars are giving our kids asthma. Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse – and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”
The European markets are already moving towards pushing the sales of Electric cars in their countries. Many governments have also planned to ban internal combustion cars in the coming decade. Also, by bringing electric cars and awareness to the customers, a better and pollution-free future would arrive.
9 Other States Also Put a Ban on New Gasoline Car Sales by 2035
Following California’s gasoline car ban, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington states have also planned to put the same ban to cut pollution.
It is always a welcoming move to move towards a carbon-free or carbon-neutral future and a gasoline car ban as of now!
