California’s Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) framework is on a roll, with more states taking steps to adopt the program’s regulations that envision 100% zero-emission sales of cars and light trucks by 2035.
New Jersey would join others in the region, including New York, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and others in taking steps to adopt ACC II in recent months, with 2026 being the first major interim date on the road to the 2035 target, requiring that 35% of cars and light trucks sold in the state to be zero-emission by that year, which also encompasses plug-in hybrids. New Mexico is moving to adopt Advanced Clean Cars and Advanced Clean Trucks regulations, also following California’s lead.
