Vermont develops a sudden case of EV sanity

Vermont Governor Phil Scott has ended Vermont ’s mandate for electric vehicles.

Vermont is one of 11 states including New York , Maryland and Massachusetts that have adopted California 's zero -emission vehicle rules, which seek to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 .

Vermont 's governor cited warnings from automakers that they could limit supply of gas-powered vehicles to dealers in the state.

Mike McDaniel is a USAF veteran, classically trained musician, Japanese and European fencer, life-long athlete, firearm instructor, retired police officer and high school and college English teacher.

“In a way, if you don’t create the demand of electric vehicles, all you’re doing with this regulation is harming the local businesses that sell vehicles of all types,” he says.
