California's ban on new gas-powered cars doesn't take effect until 2035, but its harmful effects are already appearing. Chrysler-parent Stellantis plans to reduce shipments of gas-powered cars to states that have adopted California's emissions rules.

Stellantis recently warned auto dealers that "we may be compelled to allocate fewer conventional gasoline engine vehicles to California states," including New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey, Maryland, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, Virginia and New Mexico.

"In some circumstances, we may be compelled to allocate more electrified powertrain vehicles to California states" to "comply with the more stringent standards being enforced in the California States," the Stellantis memo says. A Delaware dealer told the Delaware Business Times that Stellantis said he won't receive regular shipments of popular Jeep gas-powered models because his state has adopted California's emissions standards. But Stellantis will make available electric SUV models that are $20,000 more expensive.


 
Jeeps are rebadged Fiats, have been for some time now. Still, I don't agree with the authoritarians in CA
 
It's blatant pandering. It's never going to happen and they know it. They are going to have to kick the can down the road in a few years when it becomes obvious that the increase in battery production and infrastructure capabilities is simply not possible.
 
Story I heard was they were dropping homeowners insurance, not vehicle insurance.
First it was State Farm, now Allstate is no longer offering new policies in California.....

Good, I hope those who keep voting for this keep getting to feel the pain when they get what they ask for.
