I'm sure many have seen this already. I copied this from The Hill website.

California is expected on Thursday to approve a ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars that would begin in 2035.

The state’s Air Resources Board on Thursday will vote on the ban, which would also ratchet up the percentage of vehicles sold in the state that are electric leading up to the 2035 date.

California’s clean car standards are also often adopted by other states, so the impact of this rule could stretch far beyond its borders.

Gas powered cars are a major source of climate-warming emissions and other air pollutants, and the measure has been touted as an attempt to both tackle climate change and improve public health.

In 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued an executive order seeking to phase out the sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2035, but Thursday’s action will actually put that goal in motion.

The California plan is more ambitious than federal goals. President Biden said last year that he hoped that half of new vehicle sales would be electric by 2030. That year, California’s regulations would mandate 68 percent of vehicle sales in the state are electric.

Automakers in recent months have moved toward increasing electric vehicle sales, with several making pledges to increase the proportion of vehicles they sell that are electric.

Nevertheless, this week, some in the industry criticized California’s forthcoming regulation as difficult for companies to comply with.

I don't see how you get people living paycheck to paycheck or in worse financial condition to obtain an electric car especially if their neighborhood doesn't have the infrastructure to support it.  I believe there is more to this story that needs to be accomplished before those goals of going mostly electric can be executed in real life.  But, I guess you have to start with a goal and work your way to it even if the goal line may need to be extended at some point in the future if this is one of the most important goals of the country and the world.

Any Landscaping or garden equipment used in California after 2023 must be electric or I guess non gas powdered if you have a small nuclear powered string trimmer!  If it was just me at home...I would say come n get me!

Edit: I was wrong, no gas powered equipment will be sold after the end of 2023!  I am told you will be able to use your gas powered equipment as long as you can keep it running.

Cali's grid can't keep up with demand now! How are they going to keep up when most of the cars are electric?

They will supplement with gas powered generators.

 I wonder if they have it written that you can not go to another state and buy a car or gas powered lawn equipment? Or if you could buy and have them shipped in?

If California is so committed to ridding the state of fossil fuel why don't they band private jets.

I'm not sure about other states but in Washington you won't be able to register a new non EV.
I assume the other states are similar, Washington typically just copies what CA does anyway.

A great reason to avoid both states.

Sadly PA seems like the CA of the east. They seem to want to do a lot of the same stuff.

Nah, weather is much nicer there.
