President Trump has signed congressional resolutions overturning California’s ability to mandate electric vehicle (EV) sales and establish its tailpipe and emissions standards via a federal waiver. Trump’s resolutions immediately halt California’s 2035 ban on new gas-powered car sales—a plan

Trump also revoked two other Biden-era waivers on Thursday. Those would have allowed California to require vehicle makers to produce an increasing number of zero-emission heavy-duty trucks, and to reduce nitrogen oxides, a component of smog, from heavy-duty highway and off-road vehicles and engines.
