Connecticut Legislature Shelves Gas-Powered Vehicle Ban
原文內容：
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.


簡單翻意:
我比對了別家新聞，

基本上在說，僅管該州是民主黨控制，但考量到電網等基礎建設，沒辦法這麼激進的，
在2035年全面推電動車。

心得:
2035全面禁賣汽油/柴油車，是加州先開第一炮的，但考量到加州動不動就火燒山，
之前也有一森林大火，灣區就開始限電。

我滿好奇加州電網建設有照計畫跟上嗎?
