New York bans ICE from 2035

New York bans ICE by 2035

The state of New York has passed a law banning the sale of cars with ICE by 2035. This means that all new cars will have to have zero emissions.

The New York Senate and Assembly have put forward a bill signed by Governor Kathy Hochul to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 35 percent in order to advance climate goals, including an 85 percent reduction in GHG emissions. by 2050.

However, New York has a lot of work to do, as currently the share of electric cars makes up only 1 percent of vehicles sold.

Therefore, under the new law, several state agencies must co-operate in developing an electric vehicle market strategy, which should be ready by the end of next year. It is necessary to find a feasible way to sell even off-road vehicles and equipment without gas emissions in the country from 2035.

In addition to convincing people to buy electric vehicles, New York also needs to build a network of chargers, and their locations include apartments, shops, shopping malls, and parking lots.

California also has a law banning the sale of new cars with ICE from 2035 onwards. Massachusetts has something similar. Efforts to introduce the same law in Washington have failed.
