New Jersey Commits to Fully-Electric Vehicle Future by 2035

New Jersey will ban the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035 in an effort to improve air quality and reduce planet-warming pollutants. The state will gradually limit the sale of new gasoline-powered cars starting in 2027, eventually reaching zero in 2035. The rule does not prohibit ownership or use of gasoline-powered cars, but encourages a transition to zero-emission vehicles. The move has been opposed by business groups, citing concerns about costs, feasibility, infrastructure, and consumer choice. Environmental groups have praised the decision as a win for the environment and public health.
