Gavin Newsom will now decide what kind of car you’re allowed to drive. The Environmental Protection Agency last week granted California’s Democratic governor the power to forbid consumers from buying gasoline-powered vehicles across 18 states and territories — including Maryland, Virginia and the District.
Beginning next year, 40% of new cars sold in the U.S. will fall under Soviet-style production quotas set by government bureaus in Sacramento. The Biden administration is letting California make it a crime to sell too many of the conventional automobiles that Americans prefer. For model year 2026, the quota is 35% of car sales in affected states must be electric. The target increases by roughly 8% each year until it reaches 100% in 2035.
