Governor Phil Scott has issued Executive Order 04-25, directing the Agency of Natural Resources to halt enforcement of a multi-state plan that mandates vehicle manufacturers to meet specific electric vehicle (EV) sales targets for passenger cars and medium- and heavy-trucks.
Governor Scott said,
I continue to believe we should be incentivizing Vermonters to transition to cleaner energy options like electric vehicles. However, we have to be realistic about a pace that’s achievable. It’s clear we don’t have anywhere near enough charging infrastructure and insufficient technological advances in heavy-duty vehicles to meet current goals. We have much more work to do, in order make it more convenient, faster, and more affordable to buy, maintain and charge EV’s. When we do, it’s more likely everyday Vermonters will make the switch.
