California set an emissions standard to ban new gas cars in the state by 2035 , but such a regulation requires a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency .

The EPA is reportedly planning to grant the waiver to allow the state to set stricter emissions standards for electric vehicles than allowed by the federal government.

The Supreme Court rejected a request from oil companies to challenge California 's constitutional authority to establish its own standards on electric vehicles.
