In a worldwide first, California’s air board unanimously moves to end diesel’s decades-long stranglehold on the economy. Truckers predict chaos, while communities celebrate cleaner air.
The first two zero-emissions electric trucks, from an order of 100 vehicles, delivered from the Nikola Corporation to Total Transportation Services at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro on Friday, Dec. 17, 2021.
Starting in 2036, no new fossil-fueled medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks will be sold in the state. Large trucking companies also must convert to electric or hydrogen models by 2042. The board decided to review progress and obstacles in meeting the deadlines two and a half years from now. “We do not want to see this regulation compromise the delivery of essential goods and services to Californians or compromise the state’s economy,” he said.
In 2035, buying and operating an electric semi-truck over its lifespan could range between $765,000 and $1.1 million compared to a gas or diesel truck’s $919,000 to $1.2 million, according to air board calculations. of 21 Tesla all-electric trucks at its Sacramento bottling plant. Most were paid for by the local air quality district with $4.5 million in grants. The cost of a Tesla semi is around $250,000, twice the cost of a diesel truck. PepsiCo has ordered 100.
