New York State has announced that it will be joining California in banning the sale of gas-powered cars from 2035.
New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul made the announcement during a press conference .
Hochul said that all new sales of cars, pickups, and SUVs in the state must be either fully electric or plug-in hybrids starting in 2035.
Meeting the 2035 target will be staggered, Hochul revealed.
The law will require that 35 percent of new cars, pickups, and SUVs must be zero-emission by 2026 and 60 percent by 2030.
“New York is a national climate leader and an economic powerhouse, and we’re using our strength to help spur innovation and implementation of zero-emission vehicles on a grand scale,” Hochul said.
While the plan outlined by Hochul mostly follows California’s zero-emissions scheme, New York’s extends to public transportation, including school buses.
All new school buses in New York will be required to be zero-emission by 2027.The entire fleet must meet the stringent new standards by 2035.In her announcement, Hochul also said New York would be rolling out a range of financial incentives to encourage residents to buy electric vehicles, along with investments in related infrastructure, including fast-charging stations.

New York is the latest state to adopt the zero-emissions measure after California announced in August ( pdf ) that it would prohibit new sales of gas-powered cars by 2035, with the same staggered adoption milestones.“We had to wait for California to take a step because there’s some federal requirement that California had to go first,” Hochul said.“But once they made that decision, we were able to step up immediately and say ‘now there’s nothing holding us back’.”After the California Air Resources Board unveiled the gas-powered car ban, the states of Washington and Massachusetts announced that they, too, would follow suit.After […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
