The details on this are not promising:

Nearly 23% of new vehicles sold in California in 2025 were considered zero-emission vehicles, though EV sales were down in the state and across the U.S. compared to the year prior.

...

In the fourth quarter of 2025, only 18% of new cars sold in the state were zero-emission.

It needs to be 100% in the not-very-distant future, and that's going to be really tough without a sharp reduction in prices, which isn't likely to happen due to tariffs pushing prices up.

There are like... 5 corridors across the country that have needed it for a while. There also have been many tenable plans that were always sunk in committee or DOA because it would cut into politician's owners' (automobile industrial complex) pockets.
