Hochul Urged to Reconsider NY's 10-Year Electric Vehicle Ban on Gas Cars
New York Governor Hochul's plan to ban new gas-powered vehicle sales and require electric vehicles by 2035 may be too restrictive, prompting calls to scrap the policy. The 10-year plan has raised concerns that automakers may struggle to meet the demand for electric vehicles within the timeframe.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul's plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 has been called into question, with some arguing that it should be scrapped due to concerns about its feasibility and potential economic impact on the state. The 10-year plan requires automakers to sell only electric vehicles, but critics argue that it may not be realistic given current technology and infrastructure. The proposal was originally developed by California, which implemented a similar ban in 2017. However, Hochul's administration has maintained its commitment to the plan, citing environmental benefits and a desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
