Toyota slams California’s EV mandate as ‘impossible’, pushes to
Starting in 2026, California will require 35% of new cars sold to be plug-in hybrids or zero-emission vehicles. The proportion of electric vehicles will increase year by year, reaching 100% by the 2035 model year. Toyota's Jack Hollis called an EV mandate "impossible," citing a lack of demand for EVs. California's emissions exemption, which effectively creates two sets of regulations, has been a contentious issue for years.
