California will ban the sale of new gasoline vehicles by 2035. And to do that, it will need a much more capable grid. Powering all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in California with electricity could raise demand by 25%, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing the opinions of energy-industry executives and analysts.

Sales of gasoline-powered models will start this winter, and e-POWER models are to start in spring. However, unlike the all-battery-electric powertrain of the LEAF, e-POWER adds a small gasoline engine to charge the small, high-output battery when necessary, eliminating the need for an external charger while offering the same high-output.
