Threatened With Legal Action, Calif. Makes U Turn On Electric Truck Mandate

Pressured by legal action from seventeen states that would have been impacted, California has agreed to not just drop enforcement of its electric truck mandate, but to repeal it entirely. [emphasis, links added]

Following the governor's 2020 executive order that banned the sales of new internal-combustion engine cars in 2035, the state Air Resources Board devised two years ago a "world-leading regulation to phase out the sales of medium and heavy-duty combustion trucks in California by 2036."

But the rule would have reached far beyond California's borders, says Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, who leads the 17-state coalition that challenged the Advanced Clean Fleets rule.

Another, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, said, "California's attempt to dictate trucking standards for the entire country was a blatant overreach that would have devastated industries far beyond its borders."

Finally common sense wins one in Calif. !!!
