WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A group representing nearly all major automakers raised concerns about the feasibility of California’s proposal adopted by 11 other states to require all new vehicles sold by 2035 to be electric or plug-in electric hybrids.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a group representing nearly all major automakers except Tesla, asked the U.S. Environment Protection Agency to consider “whether a (zero emission vehicle) regulation that is right for California is also right for other states.”
The California Air Resources Board has asked the EPA for a waiver under the Clean Air Act to implement its plan to end sales of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035.
