Connecticut Legislature Shelves Gas-Powered Vehicle Ban
原文内容：
By the SEMA Washington, D.C., office
In a win for the automotive specialty-equipment industry, the Connecticut
legislature has shelved plans to adopt California's ban on the sale of new
gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. This decision comes amid concerns about
the feasibility of such a drastic transition, particularly regarding the
readiness of the state's electric grid and charging infrastructure.
In late 2023, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont withdrew a SEMA-opposed
regulation requiring the state to adopt California's strict motor-vehicle
emissions laws and outlaw the sale of new gas- and diesel-powered cars
beginning in 2035.
The move to withdraw the regulation came after bipartisan opposition from
state lawmakers, with the governor acknowledging that the proposal lacked
sufficient support to pass the legislature's Regulation Review Committee.
Unlike the Democratic-controlled legislature, the committee is evenly divided
between Democrats and Republicans.
As a result, lawmakers had hoped to find a solution during a special session
in early 2024 and then again during this year's regular legislative session.
However, they could not reach a consensus about how to move forward.
While Democratic lawmakers have abandoned plans to push the ban forward, they
will continue to focus on establishing a commission to address infrastructure
challenges.
A recent poll commissioned by SEMA revealed that 59% of registered voters in
Connecticut oppose a ban on the sale of new gas-and diesel-powered vehicles.
Rising living costs and the potential financial burden on low-income families
were cited as major concerns. Additionally, the poll found that 67% of voters
believe electric vehicles pose environmental concerns related to battery
production.
Before this policy shift, SEMA aired a statewide and online advertisement in
Connecticut highlighting the industry's commitment to innovation and
alternative fuel solutions. The ad showcased the industry's leadership in
developing cleaner technologies and converting existing gasoline and diesel
vehicles to electric, hydrogen and other alternative fuels. SEMA emphasized
that encouraging free-market innovation, not mandates, is crucial for
achieving meaningful emission reduction goals.

基本上在说，仅管该州是民主党控制，但考量到电网等基础建设，没办法这么激进的，
在2035年全面推电动车。
心得:
2035全面禁卖汽油/柴油车，是加州先开第一炮的，但考量到加州动不动就火烧山，
之前也有一森林大火，湾区就开始限电。
我满好奇加州电网建设有照计画跟上吗?
