Kron fours noelle bellow joins us live in redwood city with the details of the plan and some reaction boy well, this is bold. It is controversial too. That definitely is you know a lot of the questions that ive been getting from people is if i have a gas powered car right now will i be able to drive it in 15 years and the answer is yes, if you own a gaspowered vehicle right now and you want to continue driving it. You definitely can but come 2035 if youre in the market to buy a new vehicle it will have to be one that is 0 a mission now i spoke with some dealerships who said you know 15 years is long enough for us to get this plan in place and make it happen.

The California Air Resources Board is now tasked with writing the new vehicle rules they believe the Clean Air Act gives us the authority. To set exactly the kinds of standards that we have set up since the late 60s therefore we look forward to being able to do that in the future. About a dozen states are expected to follow california in this type of initiative another question grant that a lot of folks have been asking is can i buy a gas powered car in a different state and then bring it back to california. Yes you can it is just the new vehicles being sold in california that will have to be 0 emission by 2035 live in redwood city noelle bellow kron 4 news right now well, thanks for straightening that at our 4 zone forecast as we get a live look right now outside of downtown San Francisco a warm night meteorologist Lawrence Karnow is a new car kind of guy and lawrence i dont care what kind of car you have a better have a seat, yeah, no kidding and youre going to need a lot of it would be cranking up.
