A mainstay of cargo transport will be phased out at ports as California bans new registrations of carbon-fuel trucks in favor of nonpolluting ones.

California hopes that its stringent rules combined with financial support — truck purchase grants from state agencies can total as much as $288,000 per vehicle, operators say — will help spur truckers, automakers, warehouse landlords, utilities and charging companies to make the investments needed to create a carbon-free port truck sector by 2035, when all diesel trucks will be banned from the ports.

    You shouldn’t need to push them.

    They probably just need charging up so that the motors work again.
