(CNN)California air regulators are expected Thursday to issue stringent rules to ban the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035 and set interim targets to phase the cars out.

The California Air Resources Board will vote on the measure Thursday afternoon, board member Daniel Sperling told CNN.
Sperling added he was "99.9%" confident the measure would pass. If it does, it would be one of the first such bans worldwide. It also could have major implications for the US car market, given how large California's economy is.
"This is monumental," Sperling said. "This is the most important thing that CARB has done in the last 30 years. It's important not just for California, but it's important for the country and the world."

They'll push it out a few times then push it through at just about the same time the internal combustion engine ceases to be a thing.

We're only a major battery/charging breakthrough away from gasoline powered vehicles behind a thing of the past.

That's actually a real thing with me right now. Never needed a car while I lived in the Philippines for three years. Set to go back next month. I've been working online since 2017, and I have thoroughly enjoyed not having the expense- especially now.
