Comments Off on WASHINGTON: New Law Promotes Hydrogen-powered Vehicles
OLYMPIA, Washington, May 6, 2021 (ENS) – Washington Governor Jay Inslee Monday signed a bill that establishes an eight-year state-wide pilot project for the reduction of sales tax on purchases of fuel cell electric vehicles.
The bill, SB 5000, was authored by Washington State Senator Brad Hawkins, who said after the signing, “Our state is still in its infancy regarding electric vehicles, so I think it’s helpful to promote different types of zero-emission vehicles, both battery electrics and fuel-cell electrics. Washington has the potential to be a key producer of renewable hydrogen, and I’m excited about its future.”
