New Mexico governor: state agencies must switch to all-electric vehicle fleet by the year 2035
- New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham is set to sign an executive order declaring that the state's fleet will be entirely electric by 2035. This plan aligns with a previous announcement that by 2027, nearly half of all new vehicles sold in New Mexico must be zero-emission. Grisham is encouraging state legislatures to create tax credits to incentivize electric vehicle purchases.
- PPC Solar, a company working to expand their charging station network, has already installed 120 EV chargers throughout New Mexico. However, rural areas still lack sufficient charging infrastructure. The company aims to double the number of chargers in the coming years to make electric charging more accessible to all New Mexicans.
- While the transition to electric vehicles is well underway, challenges remain, particularly in converting police vehicles and heavy equipment to electric. Policymakers and companies like PPC Solar are collaborating to overcome these hurdles and pave the way for a greener future.
