California is preparing to phase out all gas-powered vehicles by 2035, thanks to a new executive order issued by Governor Gavin Newsom.
In an announcement on Wednesday, Newsom, 52, said the order would require all new cars and passenger trucks that are sold in California to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035.
The governor explained that his decision to move gradually toward electric vehicles and vehicles using alternative fuels like hydrogen was made as a way to fight climate change, while also helping retain and create jobs that will spur economic growth.
