EXCERPT:
NGUYEN: "That's right, a handful of other states are likely to follow suit. They know that California accounts for a big chunk of the U.S. car market. But a lot has to happen between now and 2035. Experts say if this is going to be successful, it's going to come down to infrastructure and consumer demand. We'll get to those points in just a bit, but first let's talk about the numbers. These are the benchmarks from the state, and remember, this applies only to new vehicle sales in California. So, the hope is that 35 percent of new vehicles would be zero emission by the year 2026. The target then goes up each year until 2035. But there are a lot of concerns right now about the power grid, and there seems to be a disconnect between what the goals are and the state's ability to achieve them.”
