National Zero-Emission Vehicle Standard: 100% Sales Mandate by 2035.
This Act establishes a national standard requiring vehicle manufacturers to rapidly increase the percentage of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) they sell. Starting in model year 2035, manufacturers must sell only ZEVs, fundamentally changing the new car market. This aims to reduce air pollution, improve public health, and combat climate change by eliminating tailpipe emissions.
Key points
Mandatory sales targets for ZEVs begin in 2027 (43%) and increase annually, reaching 100% by model year 2035.
A credit trading system is established, allowing manufacturers to buy or sell ZEV credits to meet compliance requirements.
Manufacturers failing to meet the minimum sales percentage face significant civil penalties.
