　　on Tuesday local time, the head of California's clean air regulator said that the state chose 2035 as the deadline to stop the sale of pure gasoline new cars. It’s a good time”, a move that will significantly reduce emissions and is realistic for the auto industry.

　　Liane Randolph, chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), said during the Climate Week event: “We have to recognize where the automakers are, where the supply chain is, where are the production facilities. I think we find a 'best period'."

　　In August, CARB said it required all new cars sold in California by then to be a Pure electric or plug-in hybrid. CARB said the rules would reduce smog pollution from light-duty vehicles by 25 percent in 2037 and shave 9.5 million fewer conventional gasoline-powered vehicles sold by 2035. Automakers can sell no more than 20 percent of their models as PHEVs in 2035.

　　California has not been as aggressive as some environmental groups or Tesla, who are urging an end to new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2030.

　　U.S. President Joe Biden has previously called for 50 percent of all new car sales to be electric or plug-in hybrids by 2030, but he did not endorse a phase-out date for sales of conventional gasoline vehicles.

　　Some states that previously adopted California's zero-emission vehicle rules have yet to sign up to the tougher 2035 phase-out date. "Colorado is certainly not California, and Colorado has our own plans," said a spokesman for Colorado's environmental agency.

　　"Some states are now ready to embrace 2035 targets, while others will become more accommodating as more eco-friendly models roll out," Randolph said.

　　She revealed that regulators are working on other transport emissions reductions for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. She also added that the state is "working very hard to identify the Valley of the Kings as a potential source of lithium metal for electric vehicles."
