Why Newsom's electric vehicle mandate is in trouble

EV sales have stalled, clouding California's ambitious plans for all new cars sold in California to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035.

The article from the Los Angeles Times discusses the challenges facing California Governor Gavin Newsom's mandate to transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Despite the ambitious goal to phase out new gas-powered car sales by 2035, several obstacles are emerging. These include a slower-than-expected adoption rate of EVs due to high costs, inadequate charging infrastructure, and concerns over the reliability of the power grid. Additionally, there's pushback from the automotive industry, labor unions, and some consumer groups who argue that the transition is too rapid and could lead to job losses and economic strain. Legal challenges are also mounting, with several states and industry groups questioning the legality of California's authority to set its own emissions standards. The article highlights that while the intent behind the mandate is to combat climate change, the practical implementation faces significant hurdles, potentially jeopardizing the timeline and effectiveness of the policy.
