Just ack from trip to Santa Fe. At airport car rental told agent did not want an EV. HE laughed and said good as we have none. Not practical here! But the nitwits who vote them in get what they deserve. She is also anti 2a as I recall. Lots of west coast royalty in Santa Fe by the way. Even the oprah have a place there.

This couldnโ€™t happen to a better set of sheep. NM re-elected that scolding Oompa Loompa by a 60/40 ratio.

Given the last three elections here and the down-ballot discrepancies that appeared to pop up, I really don't think we did. It's just that the Dems are in charge of counting all the ballots and the Republican Party here is too timid to do anything about it.

Because they already have sunk cost in vehicles they are running currently.

If she mandates all state vehicles must be electric today, then all the vehicles currently in service that aren’t would need to be replaced today, costing the state millions if not billions of dollars.

Basically the date is likely set by the life expectancy of vehicles in service. IE the life expectancy of a shuttle bus is 10 or 11 years, for example, so by mandating all electric by 2035 you have gone through the replacement cycle of every vehicle currently owned by the state.

So the mandate is basically, when it comes time to replace any state vehicle moving forward, you must buy an electric, and every vehicle should be replaced by 2035 based on service life expectancy.
