SEMA is celebrating another win after the US House voted 246 to 164 to overturn California’s Clean Air Act waiver. That waiver had cleared the path for the state’s Advanced Clean Cars II agenda, effectively mandating a shift toward electric vehicles.
The vote represents a significant setback for California’s aggressive electrification timeline. For SEMA and the aftermarket industry it represents, the decision is a hard-won victory in the ongoing fight over the future of internal combustion.
