Climate change has been the excuse for the imposition of government regulations and restrictions on how we live our daily lives.

In 2020 California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to have all new passenger and short-distance shipping vehicle sales in the state be all-electric by 2035. The policy piles onto regulations adopted in the state to take all of its commercial trucks electric by 2045.

By 2024, 35 percent of all new cars sold must be electric vehicles (EVs). That requirement will increase to 68 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2035.
