New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, issued an executive order this week mandating that every state agency switch to an entirely electric vehicle fleet by 2035.
In announcing the order, Lujan Grisham explained her government would also pursue a plan to bolster electric vehicle credits to increase affordability. The order, though, includes exemptions for law enforcement vehicles, firefighting trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles.
“The fact of the matter is that consumers and dealers want better access to electric vehicles, and the actions we’ve taken through Clean Car rules and now tax credits are leveling the playing field,” Lujan Grisham said. “I also took action today to make sure the state is ‘walking the walk’ when it comes to widely adopting low- and zero-emission vehicles by requiring the state fleet to be zero-emission by 2035.”
