US #Senate votes to block #California 2035 #ElectricVehicles rules
The Senate on Thurs voted to bar California's landmark plan to end the sale of #gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 that has been adopted by 11 other states representing ⅓ of the US auto market.
The vote sends the measure to #Trump to repeal a waiver granted by the #EPA under President Joe #Biden in December, allowing CA to mandate at least 80% #EVs by 2035.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. House of Representatives passed the budget reconciliation bill, proposing to dismantle all of the tax credits that are creating momentum and opportunity for the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) industry. The credits that would be cut include:
