The deep blue state of Vermont has run into the inevitable brick wall that electric vehicle mandates always leads to and they have come to their senses by dumping the dreamy green mandates they had envisioned.
Vermont’s Democrat Governor Phil Scott issued an executive order this month halting enforcement of the state’s EV mandates, which demanded that 35 percent of all vehicles be electric by 2026.
Per Reuters:
Vermont is one of 11 states including New York, Maryland and Massachusetts that have adopted California’s zero-emission vehicle rules, which seek to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035. California’s rules require 35% of light-duty vehicles in the 2026 model year to be zero-emission models.
Scott cited warnings from automakers that they could limit supply of gas-powered vehicles to dealers in the state because of the EV rules.
“It’s clear we don’t have anywhere near enough charging infrastructure and insufficient technological advances in heavy-duty vehicles to meet current goals,” said Scott.
