California, coalition of states sue Trump over move to revoke EV mandate
CALIFORNIA, JUN 12 – California leads 10 states suing to reinstate waivers that allow stricter electric vehicle mandates, aiming to uphold air quality rules affecting nearly 34 million residents, officials said.
- On June 12, California's governor and attorney general jointly initiated legal action to contest a federal resolution that overturned the state's vehicle emission standards.
- The lawsuit challenges Congress’s use of the Congressional Review Act to overturn California’s vehicle emissions standards, including its latest clean cars and truck regulations.
- The blocked rules aimed to ban new gas-powered car sales by 2035 and require zero-emission trucks, but the federal action halts these and affects about a dozen states adopting similar standards.
- Bonta stated that they had committed to taking legal action if the president tried to unlawfully undermine California’s clean air regulations, and legal analysts anticipate the dispute will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
- The lawsuit and continued state mandates suggest ongoing conflict over environmental policy, with California planning new zero-emission rules despite federal resistance and industry concerns.
