California says most Uber, Lyft drivers must shift to electric cars by 2030

[NYPOST] Uber and Lyft drivers in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, will be forced to shift plans to go electric into high gear under a new rule from the state’s clean-air regulator.

By 2030, at least 90 percent of both ride-hailing companies’ miles driven must be through plug-in vehicles, California’s Air Resources Board decreed on Thursday.

The edict will help move California closer to the state’s goal of essentially eradicating gas-powered vehicle ownership in the state. Sales of new gas-powered passenger vehicles will be banned by 2035, Democratic Governor Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom

said last year.

"The transportation sector is responsible for nearly half of California’s greenhouse gas emissions, the vast majority of which come from light-duty vehicles," said California Air Resources Board Chair Liane Rudolph in an announcement of the ride-share rule. "This action will help provide certainty to the state’s climate efforts and improve air quality in our most disadvantaged communities."

#4 California already imports nearly 30% of the electricity used in the state. If electric vehicles become popular, then the exporting states will use the electricity within their states, leaving CA with less electric power than they use now.
