New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday signed into law a bill that sets a goal for all new passenger cars and light-duty trucks to be zero-emission models by 2035, joining the state of California in attempting to eliminate gasoline-powered vehicles.
The law directs setting regulations requiring higher numbers of zero-emission vehicles with a goal of “100 percent of in-state sales by 2035,” and a similar target for medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles by 2045 if feasible.
