State residents are not buying electric vehicles at the rate needed to comply with a 2035 mandate.
While there is evidence suggesting the rate of growth in electric vehicle sales in New York State is slowing down, the government is doubling down on its efforts to push EV’s on state residents. New York announced a new interagency working group focused on the implementation of the clean vehicle transition. The group will collaborate with vehicle manufacturers and other stakeholders to rapidly accelerate the deployment of charging infrastructure across New York State. In 2021, Governor Hochul signed into law a phase out of the sale of fossil fuel vehicles by 2035.
