EPA approves waiver for California and 12 states to ban new gas cars by 2035

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : In 2023, Stellantis, which owns Jeep, chose the latter, making gasoline-powered non-hybrids available only as special order vehicles in California and other states that have adopted California Air Resources Board Standards.
52% : The United States Clean Air Act authorizes California to set and enforce emissions standards more strict than the federal standard, but only if the Environmental Protection Agency grants the state a waiver for each new standard.
48% : "Notably, the EPA granted a waiver for the tighter nitrogen emissions regulations for diesel, but did not grant a waiver for the Advanced Clean Fleets standard that regulates truck transportation and could have severely disrupted national supply chains if approved.States that adopt California air regulations can only begin implementing those regulations after the EPA has granted a waiver for the specific regulation in question, meaning that for now, ACF will only be in effect for California.
