Vermont halts electric vehicle requirements as governor says ‘current goals’ not realistic
Story by Reuters • 10h


Vermont Governor Phil Scott paused the state’s electric vehicle sales requirements for passenger cars and medium and heavy-duty trucks on Tuesday, amid broader concerns about the feasibility of zero-emission vehicle rules pioneered by California.

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, a Republican, cited warnings from automakers that they could limit supply of gas-powered vehicles to dealers in the state because of the EV rules.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They weren't "realistic" when the law went into effect either, were they?  You don't suppose Trump had anything to do with the Vermont epiphany? :whistle:
