Will The Combustion Engine Disappear?

By Teresa Aquila  

Many states are proposing to ban the sale of internal combustion vehicles, hoping to reduce tailpipe emissions, and give a boost to the electric plug-in vehicle. This overreach is said to help reduce wildfires from burning vehicles and pollution. Gasoline engines are responsible for 1,500 vehicle fires per 100,000 vehicles, compared to electric vehicles: 25 vehicle fires per 100,000 vehicles. Currently California has on the table that by 2035, no dealership can sell any gasoline powered vehicles. The state’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule requires zero-emission vehicles to represent 35 percent of new cars and light trucks in lots by 2026, and then 68 percent by 2030, before reaching 100 percent in 2035. Other states are pushing for similar government regulations.

What does this mean for the consumer? Will you be forced to go electric? EVs will be mandated for new vehicle sales only, hoping to phase out gasoline engines as they age. With the implementation of the electric vehicle mandate, when your internal combustion engine ages and is no longer useable, what do you do with your gasoline engine vehicle if you want to sell it? Will that be phased out, and ordered to crush the vehicle? Several years back, Jeep gave car owners money toward a new vehicle, if they turned their old ones in, and the vehicles turned in were crushed. Will all states be forced to follow suit? The future holds the answer.

Happy Motoring.
