EXCLUSIVE: The House is set to consider stand-alone legislation stripping the federal government's authority to grant California the ability to ban gas cars.
The House is set to vote on the so-called Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act —and introduced in March — on Thursday. The legislation, if enacted, would block the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing waivers to states seeking to ban or limit internal combustion engine vehicles.
"The simple fact is that electric vehicles cannot meet the demands of my constituents," Joyce told Fox News Digital in an interview Monday."Coupling the mountains with the harsh winters and the intense heat of summers makes driving an electric vehicle both unreliable and ultimately unrealistic for many of my constituents."
"This legislation, H.R. 1435, is an option. It is not an anti-electric vehicle legislation," he added."For those who would like an electric vehicle, they should have the option of buying one. But it doesn't help my constituents — it doesn't help in any district to require an individual to buy an EV regardless of what they want and regardless of the demands of the market.
Months later, on Aug. 25, 2022, the California Air Resources Board, a state environmental agency, announced new regulations banning gas-powered cars, and mandating electric cars, by 2035. California Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated the regulations, saying the state would continue to"lead the revolution towards our zero-emission transportation future."
