Perhaps I missed it elsewhere, but I'm surprised this news doesn't seem to have a thread already:
California shakes up auto industry, says all vans and trucks must be electric by 2024
The headline is misleading, the requirement is that manufacturers must sell zero-emissions vans and trucks in increasing proportions, beginning in 2024. In my opinion this is a big deal.

Under guidelines approved Thursday, at least 40 percent of the tractor trailers sold in California would have to be powered by some form of zero-emissions technology by 2024. Medium-duty trucks, such as the Ford F-250 or Chevrolet Silverado HD, would be required to switch over 55 percent of their sales by 2035; and 75 percent of delivery trucks and vans would have to use zero-emissions powertrain technology by 2035, a point by which fully 100 percent of government fleets and last-mile delivery trucks would have to meet the target.
