(The Center Square) - New Jersey will require car manufacturers to ramp up sales of electric vehicles leading to a ban on the sale of new fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2035 under new rules proposed by Gov. Phil Murphy.
Murphy announced on Monday that he has filed the Advanced Clean Cars II proposal with the Office of Administrative Law that would, if approved, require vehicle manufacturers to make zero-emission vehicles an increasing percentage of their new light-duty vehicle sales, ramping up to 100% of vehicle sales by 2035.
By doing so, New Jersey joins New York, California and the European Union in banning new gas vehicle sales by 2035.
Murphy called the move a "commitment to every New Jersey family and the air they breathe" and said it "recognizes that New Jersey is just one crucial piece of our global response to climate change."
Murphy claims the new mandate won't impose any obligations on consumers or car dealers and provides "compliance flexibilities" for manufacturers, including a credit trading mechanism.
He has also signed New Jersey on to the Accelerating to Zero Coalition’s Zero Emission Vehicle Declaration, a global pact that will commit the state to a zero-emission vehicle future.
The Murphy administration says it has allocated $75 million to help meet demand for installation of EV charging stations at businesses, multi-unit residential buildings and public locations.
"As New Jersey continues experiencing the adverse impacts of climate change, we have the power and obligation to reduce its effects by limiting the emissions of climate pollutants," Shawn M. LaTourette, the state's environmental protection commissioner. said in a statement. “Through the adoption of zero-emissions vehicle standards, New Jersey can reduce its greatest source of climate damaging emissions, improve air quality and public health, and support a growing cleantech marketplace that will create...

The dogmatic left.
I wonder how many existing homes in NJ don’t have a 200A service...?
All to support the greater con game.

Read it and weep.
And annihilate the middle class.
Continue to let them piss all over you.
THE COMMUNIST LEFT...
I don’t think apartments and condos will install chargers.
EV mandates; aka: self-destruction for a state or area doing the regulation.
But, a mandate cannot be enforced and should be challenged in courts. Nobody should be forced to do anything.
As a middle class weakens, so do tax revenues in the long run. It is a fool's game.
Years back, someone responded to the adage, "on the island of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." He observed, and when they catch him and blind him, there is no more a king.
This **** will come to an end when we refuse to comply.
A Ford salesman I know grumbled that to get 100 F150’s his dealership had to agree to take 20 electric Mach-e’s. He said there was no market for the Mach-e’s. They couldn’t give them away.
About the time your grandmother decides something is “cool” think Facebook, the rest of the world moves away from it. In this case the stand-in for grandma is the government.
Tell it to the ChiComs.
>> Murphy claims the new mandate won’t impose any obligations on consumers <<
Mandates never impose obligations on consumers. That’s why they’re called “mandates”.
I stopped at the Buc’ees in Sevierville TN yesterday. They must have had a dozen EV charging stations. Good business move, they can spend a lot of money inside while they’re waiting.
The dealers have nobody but themselves to blame.
For a variety of reasons.
They knew this was coming and were bought off by Made to Order.
Dealers, you should have brought a longer spoon.
Buc’ees got taxpayer funded incentives.
They don’t care if they make money.
I think eventually you’ll see portable generators that will be sold to people with all-electric cars. They’ll pull over somewhere and crank up the gyrator so they can make it the last mile to wherever they’re going. Electric cars will be next to valueless. To prevent this is probably one reason some states are banning gas generators.
Incidentally, I follow a couple of used car dealers on YouTube and they say the auction prices of Teslaas have dropped well below where they were for an equivalent vehicle. They’re also below the equivalent gas car. The bloom is off the rose.
