California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Wednesday that would ban the sale of new gas-powered cars and pickup trucks in the state by 2035.
About Newsom's Order: California residents would still be able to drive gas-powered cars and sell them used under Newsom's order.

“Let us no longer be victims of geopolitical dictators that manipulate global supply chains and global markets,” Newsom said.
California, with almost 40 million residents, is the most populous state and represents 1 in every 10 new automobiles sold.
The Democratic governor's move would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35%, according to his administration.
Newsom is also calling on new regulations for medium- and heavy-duty trucks to be 100% zero-emission by 2045, but the measure was not part of Wednesday's official order.
California state agencies are being called on to speed up the development of electric vehicle charging stations across the state.
Why It’s Important: The move by California could have a huge impact on the automobile industry, especially if other states follow its lead.
Automakers like Toyota Motors Corporation (NYSE:TM), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) may need to speed up their progress in producing electric vehicles or miss out on sales in the largest U.S. state.

Tesla is also working on an electric semi-truck.

Tesla's long-term production goal is 2 million vehicles per year, the CEO said.
Ford expects to have 15 electric vehicle models by the end of 2020 and for electric vehicles to represent 10% of fourth-quarter wholesale volume.
