"The state of New York is following in California’s footsteps with a
zero-emissions vehicle law that will require all new vehicles sold in the state
to be zero emissions by 2035.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is implementing this rule via directive to the State
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The DEC will then regulate
these rules into effect — the directive is similar in nature to California’s
stepped approach.
By model year 2026, New York would require 35% of sales to be zero-emissions
vehicles. By 2030, that figure jumps up to 68% of sales. And then finally in
2035, it switches over to 100% of vehicle sales needing to be of zero-emissions
vehicles. These rules will apply to “all new sales of passenger cars, pickup
trucks, and SUVs.”
Gov. Hochul’s directive also includes information regarding pollutant standards
from 2026-2034 for passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty vehicles
with gasoline engines. It's not precisely laid out what those new emissions
standards would be, but it sounds like they’ll be stricter than they are today.
That said, it’s also written that the regulations allow for some flexibility
with manufacturers to meet those new standards — what this flexibility entails
is still undefined."

John Wehrle commented: "Nice! WA also piggybacked on this. So now CA, WA, NY.
Are any others?"
