New York has banned the sale of gasoline-powered cars starting in 2035 as it seeks to reduce air pollution, and do its part in fighting the climate crisis. The new bill, which will make drastic changes in 14 years, was signed by Governor Kathy Hochul on September 8.
According to the new law, all sales or leases in New York State of new passenger cars and trucks—as well as off-road vehicles and equipment—must be zero-emission by 2035, Bloomberg Law reported. All new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles sold will have until 2045 to meet the goal.
“New York is implementing the nation’s most aggressive plan to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions affecting our climate and to reach our ambitious goals, we must reduce emissions from the transportation sector, currently the largest source of the state’s climate pollution,” Hochul said in a news release.
State agencies, in consultation with the NYS Department of Energy Research and Development, are required to develop a strategy for the development of a zero-emission vehicle market by January 31, 2023. The state will need to determine the actions and investment strategies needed for this transition.

These liberals are driving NY in der erd arein.
So can we purchase a gas vehicle from a different State and register it and drive in New York? If yes, wouldn’t that only only hurt all the private and car dealerships in this forsaken State? Is this evil wicked Hochul trying to hurt the very gullible people who pay her salary?
Out of their minds. All the people that don’t drive make all the rules for those that do.
The picture you’ve posted has no shiechus to the article being discussed. It has nothing to do with cars or gas. That is steam coming from underground.
where will new york get enough electricity to charge another million vehicles?
We are already on the brink of grid failure every summer. If not that many move to NJ or hamptons the grid would probably fault. The indian point power plant was already shut down.
they don’t realize that power plants create pollution too.
Keep voting for those Miserable DemocRATs!! I will not vote for any DemocRAT for any office.
