Worried About California Gasoline Ban! The Things You need to Know

With its beaches, festivities, and mountains, California may come to mind as a location with a laid-back, easygoing feel.

With some of the strictest pollution regulations in the nation, California also sets the bar high.

35% of all passenger cars and light-duty trucks sold in the state by 2026 must be ZEVs.
