That’s literally the one I was talking about, it will still permit hybrid and there is no requirement for everything to be a BEV

> it will still permit hybrid

article says plugin hybrid, not just hybrid, which is kinda loophole.

a hybrid is still a hybrid that you can just keep filling up with gas and never plug-in.

no? it seems to be the exact same rules as canada?

> new cars sold in 2035 and beyond are zero-emission vehicles which includes battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles.

I can't find any mentions of hybrids nor plugins in actual executive order: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/9.23.20-EO...

it just says: zero emission, and hybrids are obviously not
