WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S House of Representatives voted Thursday to bar California’s landmark plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 that has been adopted by 11 other states.
The House backed legislation to repeal a waiver granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under former President Joe Biden in December allowing California to mandate at least 80% electric vehicles by 2035. Major automakers had urged the action saying the rules are not feasible, while California says the rules are essential to cutting pollution.
