California is banning the sales of new gasoline-only vehicles by 2035, marking a historic step toward combating climate change.
The new regulations, issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) on Aug. 24, are intended to push carmakers to accelerate production of cleaner automobiles.
The announcement comes after Governor Gavin Newsom set a target in 2020 to speed up the shift away from fossil fuels.
