New Jersey Set to Ban Gas-powered Cars by 2035

On Tuesday, the state of New Jersey announced a plan to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered automobiles by 2035. Governor Phil Murphy, a Democrat, made the announcement along with the state’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Shawn LaTourette. Murphy claims that the new state rule will help to alleviate so-called climate change.

With the announcement, the Garden State joins a growing number of states that are putting the climate cart in front of the fossil-fuel horse. California, Vermont, New York, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Virginia, Rhode Island, Maryland, and Connecticut have created similar rules looking to ban efficient reliable vehicles in favor of more expensive and less reliable electric vehicles (EVs).

Restrictions on new gas-powered light-duty vehicles will begin in New Jersey in model year 2027 and ramp up to a complete ban on new vehicle sales by 2035. The new rule does not ban ownership of gas-powered vehicles, nor does it ban the sale of used cars that use fossil fuels.

“By filing the landmark Advanced Clean Cars II rule [which will be published in December], New Jersey builds upon its standing as a national leader in climate action and its participation in the global Accelerating to Zero commitment,” Murphy said. “The steps we take today to lower emissions will improve air quality and mitigate climate impacts for generations to come, all while increasing access to cleaner car choices.”

The ban isn’t actually a ban, Murphy claimed: “[The rule] does not ban gasoline cars, nor does it force consumers to buy EVs. Rather, the rule will provide certainty to vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, utilities, and charging infrastructure companies to make the long-term investments that will be crucial to large-scale deployment of light-duty ZEVs [zero-emission vehicles] and consumer choice.”
