The Alliance for Automotive Innovation (AAI), representing major automakers, is urging Congress to reject California's plan to phase out gas car sales by 2035. The group argues that allowing California to enforce strict emissions rules under the Clean Air Act, particularly a mandate for 80% of new vehicle sales to be electric by 2035, could limit market options and lead to higher prices for consumers. A vote in the House of Representatives is imminent, which may also impact 11 states following California's lead, as tensions rise over regulatory powers and competition.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation contends that automakers would face significant challenges and increased vehicle prices if California's electric vehicle mandate continues.
The lobbying group argues that California's emissions rules could stifle competition and reduce the variety of vehicles available to consumers.
