British Columbia has announced plans to lower its 2035 zero-emission vehicle sales mandate from 100 percent to 75 percent.
The province also plans to scrap its 2035 ban on the sale of new internal-combustion-engine vehicles. Both changes are meant to better align provincial regulations with goals set by the federal government, the ministry of energy and climate solutions said in an April 1 press release.
