New Jersey approved a new rule banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars in the state starting in 2035. It sets increasing sales targets for automakers so that every new light-duty vehicle sold in New Jersey by 2035 will be a zero-emission vehicle or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. This rule change does not require people to buy electric vehicles or ban existing gas-powered vehicles. N.J. is one of 11 states adopting this rule to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality.
