US EditionTrump Reverses California’s EV Rules; Newsom Files Lawsuit and Executive Order
- On Thursday, June 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed three joint resolutions in Washington, D.C., revoking California's authority to enforce its clean-car and truck emission rules.
- Legislative measures passed by Congress invalidated the EPA-issued waivers that permitted California to enforce its stringent vehicle emissions standards, including the planned shift to electric vehicle sales by 2035 and tougher low-NOx regulations for heavy-duty trucks.
- The resolutions, co-led by Congressman LaMalfa and others, reversed the Biden administration's approval of California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule requiring 35% zero-emission vehicles sold by 2026.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom strongly criticized the action as a harmful setback to air quality and climate efforts, and he, along with 10 other states, filed a federal lawsuit seeking a temporary injunction to halt the repeal while the legal battle continues.
- The dispute may reshape federal-state environmental authority, with CARB preparing alternative emissions rules and industry groups divided on impacts to emissions, consumer choice, and infrastructure readiness.
