According to a Fox News report, the EPA has granted permission to the state of California to ban the sale of new gas-powered by the year 2035.

It’s the most strict EV mandate in thecountry.

From Fox News:

The EPA announced on Wednesday that they would be approving two waivers, under the Clean Air Act, that grants California permission to phase out gas cars in the state – one of President Biden’s final acts pushing the auto industry into the green energy sector.

One waiver grants California’s near future request to mandate that 35% of new cars and light-duty trucks sales be zero emissions by 2026 and achieve 90% below current emissions by 2027.

The other EPA waiver allows California officials to mandate that all new car sales be zero-emission within the decade – the most strict EV mandate in the country.

However, Golden State climate activists shouldn’t celebrate too soon, as President-elect Donald Trump has signaled he would prevent an EV mandate.

“Fresh off imposing his insane, job-killing electric vehicle mandate at the federal level, Crooked Joe Biden is preparing to slaughter the remnants of the U.S. auto-industry by approving California’s waiver request outlawing the sale of all gasoline-powered automobiles,” incoming Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital during the campaign.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said that the waivers will “protect its [California] residents from dangerous air pollution coming from mobile sources like cars and trucks.”

However, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers CEO and President Chet Thompson described the mandate as “unlawful.”

“Contrary to claims on the campaign trail that they would never tell Americans what kinds of cars we have to drive, the Biden-Harris EPA just did exactly that by greenlighting California’s ban on sales of all new gas and traditional hybrid vehicles,” Thompson said in a statement. “These policies will harm consumers—millions of whom don’t even live in California—by taking away their ability to buy new gas cars in their home states and raising vehicle and transportation costs.”
