Democrats in the Virginia legislature passed HB 1965 in 2021, which forces electric, hybrid plug-ins, or hydrogen fueled vehicles to be sold in the state and exempted the Administration from seeking public comment on the rule. The State Air Pollution Control Board implemented the law by adopting regulations that require 100% of all new vehicles sold in the state be electric by 2035. Minnesota adopted a rule last year that requires 8 percent of the vehicles to be electric and it is projected that such a mandate would increase the cost of all vehicles by more than $1,100. That's because automobile manufacturers have to subsidize electric vehicles using money they make with their gasoline-powered cars.
