Oregon Live reports that Oregon will become the third state to follow California’s decision to mandate 100% zero-emissions new vehicle sales by 2035, a measure in a series of new regulations that include the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule, the Climate Protection Program and the Clean Fuels Expansion Program belong. It is projected that by January 1, 2026, 35% of a manufacturer’s vehicle sales in the state will be battery electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and plug-in hybrids. In 2035, the percentage will rise to 100%.
Internal combustion engine vehicles already on the road can stay, but ACCII is revising test definitions and requirements for gas-powered vehicles going on sale by 2035 to “reduce cold start emissions and lower peak exhaust and evaporative emission rates.” “Oregonians can purchase new gas-powered vehicles out of state and used gas-powered vehicles within state.
The ACCII rule text attempts to ensure useful electric vehicles for most residents, stating that pure electric vehicles must have a minimum of 150 real-world miles range on a single charge, be fast-charging capable, and come standard with a charging cable at least 20 feet long must be able to handle Tier 2 tariffs and meet “minimum warranty and durability requirements”. The main battery warranty terms are the same as many already advertised, such as: B. Eight years of coverage or 100,000 miles and 80% of the remaining capacity at the end of that time. Plug-in hybrids must have an EPA-rated all-electric range of at least 50 miles, as well as “have an extended warranty on emissions-related components for 15 years or 150,000 miles, and include similar charging capabilities, inputs and cables as ZEVs.” A welcome condition is that manufacturers must provide repair information and all necessary maintenance tools to non-dealership operations.
In addition, the ACCII aims to ensure that EVs are affordable for low-income households, that dealers offering assistance programs to low-income households receive a supply of used EVs, and incentivizes manufacturers to offer community car-sharing programs when purchasing EVs support.
Commission spokeswoman Rachel Sakata said that of the 700 responses submitted during the public comment period, 200 were against. Greg Addington, the only commissioner to vote against the rule, said: “There are a lot of people in the state who don’t understand where this is going,” particularly those in rural areas who highlight the lack of infrastructure to cover the distances , which they need to cover.
Leah Feldon, interim director of the Department of Environmental Quality, suggested looking ahead to the long term. “These rules are a support mechanism, not the driving force. They would send a signal to Oregon: bring your zero-emission cars here, bring the infrastructure and for the grid, get it done.”
