WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A group of 11 states led by California on Thursday filed suit challenging a repeal by Congress of the state’s 2035 electric vehicle rules and heavy duty truck requirements.
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed three resolutions approved by lawmakers barring California’s electric vehicle sales mandates and diesel engine rules, including to bar California’s landmark plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in northern California and which includes New York, Colorado, Massachusetts and Washington state, said the vote by Congress was unlawful and asked a judge to declare the resolutions “have no effect on the status or enforceability of state emissions control program.”
