President Trump Signs Legislation Terminating California’s EV Mandate
President Trump on Thursday signed legislation that terminates the state of California’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate.
The president signed a law repealing a waiver the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted California to enforce its own emissions standard that would have required the minimum percentage of zero-emission cars to rise from 35% for the 2026 model year to 100% in 2035. Eleven other states signed on to California’s EV Mandate.
A leading auto industry trade group that represents Detroit’s Big Three of Ford, GM and Stellantis, along with numerous other leading automakers, praised the move to repeal the California EV standard.
“Everyone agreed these EV sales mandates were never achievable and wildly unrealistic,” John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, said in a statement. “Worse than unachievable – these EV mandates were going to be harmful. Harmful to auto affordability, to consumer choice, to industry competitiveness and to economic activity.”
