Coalition urges Congress to reverse EPA approval of CA gas car ban
- The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, including Ford, GM, Toyota, and others, urges Congress to overturn the EPA waiver allowing California's 2035 gas car sales ban.
- The waiver, granted under the Clean Air Act and approved by the Biden EPA in December 2024, allows California to require 80% electric vehicle sales by 2035, affecting 11 other states.
- Automakers warn that the mandate will restrict sales of affordable gas and hybrid vehicles, boost prices, and that California's targets are impossible to meet as zero-emission vehicle shares recently declined.
- A 26-group conservative coalition calls mandating EVs "very bad policy" that will raise car prices, reduce economic activity, and limit consumer choice, supporting House Joint Resolution 88 to repeal the waiver.
- H.J. Res 88 has passed the House Rules Committee and will soon face a House vote, representing the last legislative avenue to reverse California's ban absent court or state action.
