Members of the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board voted 4-1 to keep mandates in place requiring an increasing number of electric vehicles for sale.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Mandates for auto dealers to provide an increasing number of electric vehicles for sale across New Mexico will remain in place as state regulators on Friday denied an effort to derail implementation of the new rules pending a legal challenge.
But local auto dealers and others, including Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren, are concerned that the mandates will have negative effects particularly for rural communities that lack electric vehicle charging infrastructure. They also have argued that affordability is an issue for consumers on the Navajo Nation and across New Mexico.
By 2032, four out of every five passenger cars shipped to the state by manufacturers must have zero emissions. While New Mexico is pushing ahead with its clean car initiatives, federal regulators have opted to relax initial tailpipe limits that were proposed last year. That decision followed news that EV sales were beginning to slow in December.
