California's EV push puts truckers on front lines.

California's new rule demands that every drayage vehicle must be a zero-emission vehicle by 2035, and any trucking or shipping company that acquires a new truck is required to buy an electric model powered by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells. The regulations could help avoid some 5,500 heart- and lung-related deaths by 2050. However, small business owners who transport nearly a third of California's containerized goods say the regulations have moved too fast, and adapting to California's new rules could require major changes, including rerouting to limit battery-intensive highway driving, finding space to install charging stations, and leasing trucks instead of owning them.
