President Trump signed resolutions to nullify California’s electric vehicle mandates, marking a significant shift in the state’s automotive policy. The decision eliminates regulations that required a percentage of new vehicle sales to be electric, a policy California had implemented to reduce emissions. The resolutions were enacted under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to repeal federal regulations. This action followed a federal judge’s ruling on June 13, 2025, ordering Trump to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Gavin Newsom after a separate dispute over federalization. The move to overturn the electric vehicle rules aligns with Trump’s broader policy to prioritize deregulation and traditional energy sectors. California officials, including Governor Newsom, expressed intent to explore legal options to challenge the decision, though no immediate actions were detailed. The change is expected to impact automakers’ production plans and California’s transportation policies moving forward.
