According to the Sacramento Bee, California State Assemblyman Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat, will introduce a bill to the state legislature that would "ban the sale of new cars fueled by internal-combustion engines after 2040." Since the market has failed to entice consumers into buying electric cars, Ting feels it is now necessary for the state to force them into it.
“The market is moving this way. The entire world is moving this way,” Ting said. “At some point you need to set a goal and put a line in the sand.”
Back in 2012, California put forth a plan to have a fleet of 1.5 million “zero-emission vehicles” by 2025 in hopes that electric and hybrid vehicles will make up 15% of all new car sales. The results thus far have been dismal, since consumers want "prices to drop and battery ranges to improve."
California Wants To Ban All Gas Cars By 2040
I guess Cali will be come the Cuba of Internal Combustion Cars .... they should ban gas stations and parts for repair as well
