Jack Hollis, COO of Toyota Motor North America, criticized California's zero-emission vehicle mandates as "impossible" to meet, arguing they would limit consumer choice and distort the automotive market. He expressed a preference for a single national standard, reflecting concerns over the current political climate and its impact on state rights and environmental regulations. Despite the push for electric vehicles, adoption rates remain low across the U.S., with only a few states nearing compliance with California's ambitious goals.
