00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:02.040
- [Narrator] More states are
jumping on the bandwagon,

2
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.470
banning future sales of
internal combustion vehicles.

3
00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:05.850
New York Governor Kathy Hochul

4
00:00:05.850 --> 00:00:07.710
directed her state's environmental agency

5
00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:09.450
to finalize a plan to ban the sale

6
00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:12.780
of new fossil fuel-powered
vehicles after 2035.

7
00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:14.430
Only hybrids and electric vehicles

8
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:16.710
would be allowed to be sold
new after the deadline.

9
00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:19.440
Under the proposal, New York
would adopt a California rule

10
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.300
calling for plug-in hybrids and EVs

11
00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.720
to represent 68% of new
vehicle sales by 2030.

12
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:26.580
And fast forward to 2035,

13
00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:29.640
and that rule requires 80% of
new cars to be all-electric,

14
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.190
with the remaining 20%
being plug-in hybrids.

15
00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:34.050
The Biden Administration wants the U.S.

16
00:00:34.050 --> 00:00:35.910
to aim for an even more ambitious goal,

17
00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:37.260
looking for EVs to make up

18
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:39.510
half of all new car sales by 2030.

19
00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:41.220
Governor Hochul's proposal will have to go

20
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:43.260
through a public hearing
before it can be finalized.

21
00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:45.330
New York will be joining a
growing number of governments

22
00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:48.420
worldwide seeking to phase out
internal combustion vehicles.

23
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:51.333
