First government in the world to take a historic decision to 'ban' petrol and diesel vehicles in California, USA

Vehicles running on petrol and diesel are set to be banned in the US state of California. The state government of California has decided to ban fuel-powered vehicles. The California government is the first government in the world to ban petrol and diesel vehicles. The ban imposed by the state government will come into effect from 2035. The government estimates that by 2035, sales of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen-powered vehicles will be 100 percent in the state. California has taken this historic step to address the challenges of climate change.

A unanimous decision

The California Air Resources Board, which oversees air-related matters in California, unanimously approved the Advanced Clean Car II plan. The plan aims to mandatorily sell only electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles from 2035.

"This is a historic moment for California, our partners and the world," said board chairwoman Leanne Randolph, according to Bloomberg. Because we have charted our course towards a zero emission future. Despite this decision by the California government, concerns about the rate and range of electric vehicles still persist. According to HT Auto, things will change with the development of infrastructure over time. At the same time, with the help of promoting infrastructure, such vehicles will also get better charging facilities. After this decision of California, other US states can also promote EV infrastructure.
