New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced the state will prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035, meaning all new auto sales will be electric.
The move is an effort to improve air quality and reduce pollutants in the air.
The state already plans to limit the amount of new gasoline-powered cars that can be sold beginning in 2027.
