- katbyte 3y agoIf it’s anything like Canada it still allows for hybrid. Banning everything but BEV will never happen because Bev will never work for a small subset of users
- riku_iki 3y agothey have similar law in Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-electric-vehicles-2035-1.7063993#:~:text=The%20federal%20government%20is%20laying,targets%20for%20manufacturers%20to%20meet https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-electric-vehicles-20....
- katbyte 3y agoThat’s literally the one I was talking about, it will still permit hybrid and there is no requirement for everything to be a BEV
- riku_iki 3y ago> it will still permit hybrid article says plugin hybrid, not just hybrid, which is kinda loophole.
- katbyte 3y agoa hybrid is still a hybrid that you can just keep filling up with gas and never plug-in.
- riku_iki 3y agoyes, though in California cars required to be 0 emission by 2035
- katbyte 3y agono? it seems to be the exact same rules as canada? > new cars sold in 2035 and beyond are zero-emission vehicles which includes battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles.
- riku_iki 3y agoI can't find any mentions of hybrids nor plugins in actual executive order: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/9.23.20-EO-N-79-20-Climate.pdf https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/9.23.20-EO... it just says: zero emission, and hybrids are obviously not
- katbyte 3y agothat is the exact same language used for the canadian law. "zero emission" includes hybrid https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/cars-and-light-trucks-are-going-zero-frequently-asked-questions https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/cars-and-light-tr...
