WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) - Major automakers want
Congress to bar California's landmark plan to end the sale of
gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 that has been adopted by 11 other
states, warning the rules could begin impacting vehicle
shipments in a few months.
The U.S. House of Representatives will vote later this week
on legislation to repeal a waiver granted by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency under former President Joe Biden
in December allowing California to mandate at least 80% electric
vehicles by 2035. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which
represents General Motors ( GM ), Toyota ( TM ) , Volkswagen
, Hyundai and other major automakers said
car companies could soon be "forced to substantially reduce the
number of overall vehicles for sale to inflate their proportion
of electric vehicles sales."
