Cara Horowitz in Financial Times: California climate rule to halt sale of new petrol cars by 2035

California has enacted laws that would ban the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035, aiming to reduce its biggest source of carbon emissions.

Cara Horowitz, co-executive director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the University of California, Los Angeles, called the regulation an “extraordinary step,” but added that California would need to increase its charging infrastructure at an “aggressive pace” to support the electric vehicles that are anticipated to make up the majority of new sales.
