The article makes it sound like all 17 other states that have similar legislation might not pass it. They are going to pass it, that's not even a question. Because just like California, if 2034 rolls around and they aren't ready, they'll just extend the deadline.
The thing that is actually worrying is the fuel economy restrictions by 2026. Most ICE cars will never get 55mpg by then. Mfgs will have to switch to selling hybrids, which most are not ready for (the pandemic pushed any such plans out by at least 3 years). If that doesn't get pulled, it could potentially damage automakers' sales and production plans.
- wffurr 4y agoThey should have all switched to selling nothing but hybrids ten years ago, but the US has a major structural political problem that prevented this.
