New York State has jumped more squarely onto the zero-emissions bandwagon by announcing it will follow California’s lead in banning sales of gasoline-powered cars.

The announcement was made by New York Governor Kathy Hochul at a press conference on Sept. 29, in which she said that all new sales of cars, pickups, and SUVs in the state must be either fully electric or plug-in hybrids starting in 2035.
