California is taking steps to strengthen its course to zero-emission transportation and hasten progress by providing more incentives for electric vehicle charging ports and reducing the carbon in fuels used by internal combustion engines.
“Internal combustion engine vehicles will remain on our roads for some time. So we need to have low-carbon fuels available for both zero-emission and combustion vehicles in order to successfully replace fossil fuels,” Liane Randolph, chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), said at the start of the agency’s board meeting Friday, which ran more than 12 hours and received public comment from hundreds of attendees.
