California has led the nation in its efforts for cleaner air and less pollution. Calling out that all new cars sold in 2035 and beyond be zero-emissions. Connecticut, Maryland, and New York are some of the states that have joined Californians in the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>California EV adoption by 20% in just five years<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Golden State has also grown EV adoption by 20% in just five years, according to Bloomberg News. In fact, California has about 1.4 million EVs on the road, accounting for 40% of all zero-emission sales in the U.S. Now California is claiming yet another first. The \u201cHome to Hollywood\u201d state will require all electric vehicles to have a standardized diagnostic system (known as OBD II in gasoline cars) in 2026.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Standardizing every component to affect emission performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just like Tesla\u2019s Supercharger is becoming the industry standard for charging electric cars, this CA legislation will probably too become the new standard for many states.

The on-board diagnostic system, typically located under the steering wheel includes four categories. Car diagnostics like your car needs an oil change. Car maintenance if you must change brakes or register your battery. Car coding if you\u2019d like to disable start-stop button. And finally, used car check for specific car mileage. But the OBD II standard is just for ICE vehicles, as of now.
