The California Air Resources Board (ARB) released the proposed scoping plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030—the most ambitious target in North America. For the past decade, California has been reducing emissions through a series of actions, innovative solutions and advances in technology.

The Administration is undertaking multiple actions to place the United States on what it calls an “ irreversible path ” to achieve a 50-52 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from a 2005 baseline, and then to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. All new vehicles sold will be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in 2035.

Keep in mind that repairing or replacing the motor of a fuel car can cost up to $10.000 and, all things considered, EVs simply require fewer visits to workshops and are much cheaper to own. For instance, it has been shown that in terms of air pollution, the electric model of the average midsize car outperforms its fuel-powered counterpart.
