The giant f***ing is coming for you, Californians

They pretty much already do outside of CA. Most cars sold in the other 49 states are built to meet Federal EPA emission standards. CA is the only state that is allowed to set its own emission standards since CARB predates the EPA's emission regulations. The other states have the choice of adopting either Federal EPA standards or CARB's stricter standards, but they can't develop their own unique standards. However, the EPA pretty much just copycat CARB's emission standards so the differences aren't big. Also CA is a huge car market that car manufacturers don't want to miss out on, so they are willing to jump through any hoops CARB sets up. Only good news is that most states don't bother to enforce emission standards as hard as CA does.

Watched the video & remembered checking out online to see out of being curious to see what they accepted in my area for it. They rejected the '81 by VIN but accepted the wife's '96 Contour with open arms (& we traded it in before the joke started.) That old 229 got worst mileage & economy over the Contour's 4 banger but they wanted it instead. Maybe a simular program to help get everyone into a EV?

Oh they will, but it will be more of trade in your ICE powered vehicles and guns if you don't want all your assets frozen and any children taken by protective services.

Joke's on them. I'm broke and don't even like my kid.
