‘Mind-Boggling’ Electric Vehicle Mandates May Be Coming to Maine
The state’s environmental regulators will decide next week on whether to implement California-style EV rules, mandates that are ‘so out of touch that it’s mind-boggling,’ one analyst says.
Maine’s electric vehicle landscape may soon look a lot more like California’s if the state’s environmental regulators decide to implement rules that would mandate an increasing number of vehicles to be “zero-emissions vehicles.”
The state’s Board of Environmental Protection — a seven-member board appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state’s legislature — is set to decide on the proposed regulations on December 21. The mandate would kick in for model year 2027 and would require 82 percent of light-duty vehicles sold by model year 2032 to have zero emissions.
