Line graph titled "Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales in California" showing steady growth from 2010 to 2025. The graph displays a sharp increase beginning around 2018, with the current total reaching 2,343,392 vehicles as of June 30, 2025. The graph uses orange data points on a blue background, with a California bear icon and star in the upper left.

This QTs modest decline in ZEV vehicle sales is no surprise given the federal govts misguided & ongoing assault on clean transportation. They may slow progress—but they can’t stop it. ZEVs are here to stay.

Graphic featuring a quote from CARB Chair Liane M. Randolph on a light blue gradient background with a thin rectangular border. The quote reads: "Today’s announcements are just the latest moves from this feckless federal government that choose polluter fantasyland over proven science. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the planet continues to suffer from the consequences of unchecked carbon pollution as heatwaves, floods and wildfires threaten increasingly uninsurable communities everywhere." At the bottom are the CARB logo on the left and the text "Chair Liane M. Randolph" on the right.

Today’s moves from the feckless federal govt are just the latest in a string of negligent deregulatory actions—fantasy over fact. Back on Earth, the world suffers from inaction. CA chooses reality, science & innovation. We won’t turn our backs—and we know we’re not alone

☀️ Excessive Heat & Elevated Fire Weather Alert ☀️

Triple-digit temperatures are forecast for Thursday through the weekend across the Northern Sacramento Valley, with above-normal heat expected through at least the end of next week. Combined with low humidity & breezy winds, fire danger remains high.

Stay cool & safe:
✅ Take breaks

Listed topics include: health effects of short-term smoke exposure, emissions from urban structure and vehicle fires, long-term health risks of wildfire smoke, and indoor air filtration strategies. The California Air Resources Board logo appears at the bottom.

Six months after the #LAFires, CARB continues to review air quality data and support research to understand the health impacts of wildfire smoke. By protecting public health through science, we strengthen California's resilience.

A box highlights key figures: "4 mobile surveys, 5 new monitoring stations, 40+ CARB staff, 1,000+ hours." Logos for the California Air Resources Board and South Coast AQMD appear at the bottom.

After the #LAFires, CARB partnered with South Coast AQMD to carry out the largest wildfire air monitoring response in CA history.

Together, we deployed monitors, analyzed air sample & worked across agencies to support public health during the recovery.
