The State of Maine rejected a sweeping California-style electric vehicle mandate despite widespread calls from climate activists to pursue the regulations.
Maine's top environmental regulator rejected a proposed state electric vehicle mandate in a surprise vote, bucking climate concerns voiced by eco groups and Democrats. The Maine Board of Environmental Protection turned down the so-called Advanced Clean Cars program after receiving overwhelming opposition from stakeholders and citizens.
Meanwhile, more than a dozen states have successfully adopted California's EV mandate regulations unveiled in August 2022. Under California's plan, 100% of all car purchases must be electric by 2035. Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who has pursued an aggressive climate agenda since taking office, did not respond to a request for comment at press time.
