Portable Gas Generator BAN
Portable Gas Generator Ban has passed in California.
Will it be illegal to run your portable generator at a campsite? Will you be able to own a portable generator at your place of residence? The California Air Resource Board (CARB) was considering a regulation to ban small off-road engines, which included portable gas generators used by RVs (recreational vehicles).
California became the first state to outlaw the sale of single-engine off-road equipment (SORE). This law included lawnmowers and leaf blowers.
How does it affect portable generators? Any gas-powered generator under 25 horsepower, which is most portable generators, will be part of the ban.
This does not affect stationary generators.
You may use a generator during a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).
Permits may be required to allow you to use a back-up generator. Again, CARB regulations allows you use a generator during PSPS. The proposed law to ban portable gas-powered engines has passed in California. This will affect portable gas generators in 2028. It seems to ban the sale of portable gas generators and finally the use of portable generators in 2028.
The intention would indicate that ZEE generators (with zero emissions equipment) would replace portable gas generators. Many RVers rely on portable gas generators to boondock. They use them when a hook-up is not available. Also, portable generators have served a crucial role during natural disasters and major power outages.
This post will be updated to any changes or any exemptions that may occur.

So far this law will affect:
- lawnmowers
- weed trimmers
- chainsaws
- golf carts
- specialty vehicles
- generators
- pumps
What is does not affect:
- on road motor vehicles
- off road motorcycles
- all-terrain vehicles (ATVs)
- boats
- snowmobiles
- model airplanes, car or boats (I believe RC hobby)
The goal is to transition to 100 percent zero-emission off-road vehicles and equipment by 2035.
