Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an executive order Monday requiring every state government agency to transition to an entirely electric vehicle fleet by 2035.
Lujan Grisham – who made the announcement during remarks at the New Mexico Department of Transportation's Symposium on the Future of Transportation – added that her government would pursue a plan to bolster electric vehicle (EV) tax credits in an effort to boost affordability. The executive order to force state agencies to adopt carbon-free vehicle fleets comes as Lujan Grisham continues pushing EV mandates statewide.
"The fact of the matter is that consumers and dealers want better access to electric vehicles, and the actions we’ve taken through Clean Car rules and now tax credits are leveling the playing field," Lujan Grisham said. "I also took action today to make sure the state is ‘walking the walk’ when it comes to widely adopting low- and zero-emission vehicles by requiring the state fleet to be zero-emission by 2035.

Could likely effectively neuter some agencies by requiring them to use EVs.
I already have a list.

As I was explaining to someone the other day - if the government employee's vehicle bellies up, it's like Senior Skip Day - on the taxpayer's dime.
They're still on the clock, getting zero work done while they pay Top Taxpayer Dollar to get it fixed IMMEDIATELY.

Oh, P.S. Like “transgendering”, no such thing as zero emissions.

Here’s a noose you stooopid feel gooder, just in case suspending the constitution with her 30 day gun ban didn’t kill your governorship.
I seriously suggest mollifying radicals by returning New Mexico....to Mexico.

Ah, yes........the ol' wealth redistribution called "tax incentives", whereby TAXPAYER's are FORCED to pay for other people's benefits, to complete the Donors' paybacks for politicians. Vote-buying in its finest form.
That's what Global Warming is all about, folks.........satisfying the Global Elites' enrichment, and subservience.

The only industry that makes any money in NM is oil and gas, centered in 3-4 counties by Texas.
NM is also a large state with a whole lot of nothing between the populated areas. The grid is also terrible.
There’s no way an electric car could make it.

Electric cars have great acceleration.
But they are light, don’t do well in wrecks, and have limited range, especially when pushed hard.
So you head out into the country and maintain high speed, and they’ll drop.
