    Trump Signs Resolutions Killing California’s Electric Vehicle Mandates

    President Trump on Thursday revoked California’s special waiver under the Clean Air Act, effectively dismantling the state’s ability to mandate stricter emission standards for passenger cars and heavy trucks. The president signed three Congressional Review Act resolutions passed last month, targeting specific California regulations including the Advanced Clean Cars II program and heavy-duty engine standards.

    These regulations had imposed penalties and incentives to push consumers toward electric and zero-emission vehicles. California had set ambitious goals for electric vehicles adoption – 35% by 2026, 68% by 2030, and full adoption by 2035. However, adoption rates have been sluggish, with state reports predicting only 6% of light-duty vehicles on the road by the end of 2024 would meet the EV criteria.

    The president claimed that his move would result in “lower prices, better cars and more choice.” Industries affected by the EV mandates praised Trump’s decision. The American Trucking Association said the move restored “the certainty that the trucking industry needs to deliver for our nation as we continue to reduce our environmental impact.” General Motors also welcomed the decision, advocating for one national standard to “stay competitive, continue to invest in U.S. innovation, and offer customer choice across the broadest lineup of gas-powered and electric vehicles.”

    In contrast, California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta condemned the president’s action, pledging legal action despite Trump’s claims of immunity. “California won’t let Washington roll back decades of progress. Our standards save lives and protect our planet,” Bonta said. The legal battle ahead may be significant as environmental advocates view this as a retreat from vital climate action.

    The move also revealed tensions between Trump and Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, with Trump stating he dislikes financial incentives for electric cars, suggesting a reason for their strained relationship.
