Washington to follow California in phasing out gas vehicles
August 26, 2022
SEATTLE (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said his state will follow California and prohibit the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

“This is a critical milestone in our climate fight. Washington set in law a goal for all new car sales to be zero emissions by 2030 and we’re ready to adopt California’s regs by end of this year,” Inslee said Wednesday on Twitter.
Transportation-related emissions account for more than 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in Washington.
