S2252, which was signed by Governor Murphy back in 2020, mandates at least two million electric vehicles by 2035 to help “fight” climate change. By comparison, through June of this year, a total of 120,000 EVs have been sold in the state since 2011. But even two million EVs isn’t...
Over time, the dangers of the overly rapid shift to EVs will become far clearer. A sensible plan to reduce emissions would allow for a variety of technologies to emerge, rather than placing all our bets on one flawed approach. The race for EVs may be good news for China. It will also...
The global electric vehicle charging station market was valued at USD 39.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 24.4% from 2025 to 2034, owing to heightened adoption of EVs, complementary government mandates, and advancement in charging technologies including the soaring demand f...
1990s: California passed zero-emission vehicle mandates to address pollution. Automakers started seriously re-exploring EVs. 2008: The Tesla Roadster became the first highway-legal serial-production all-electric car to use lithium-ion batteries. 2021: There were over 10 million EVs on the road glo...
The bill eliminates the alternative fuels tax on electricity for at-home charging, which netted the state nearly $778,000 in 2023. According to a fiscal note prepared by the House Appropriations Committee, the new electric vehicle fee will generate $16.1 million in 2025 and as much as $28.8...
the primary driver for electric semi sales will be state-level zero emissions vehicle sales mandates such as California's Advanced Clean Trucks regulation," says William Sierzchula, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "After 2035, sales are likely to be driven by reductions in battery...
The first big push for electric vehicles was in 1998 in the state of California with the mandate that stated, “ a small percentage of vehicles sold after 2000 [ must have] zero emissions”( Baumgartner et Gross 35). This pushed many small and large vehicle companies to begin to look ...
State regulators can’t address all these problems, but they could consider addressing several of them with standards and mandates aimed at simplifying and enhancing the charging experience. For example, they could require all stations to accept credit cards and use standa...
vehicle use, in the form of scooters. And, thanks largely to extensive state-sponsored high-speed rail for distant journeys, it has a consumer driving pattern that skews heavily toward short city trips, which are easier than long rides to build an infrastructure of car-charging stations around...
