It could soon become easier to get an electric vehicle in Connecticut.
A bill recently advanced out of the transportation committee that will allow manufacturers to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers something only automobile dealer to ships can now do. It would amend state statutes to allow electric vehicle manufacturers with sustainable business models and electric-only production to be granted new or used car dealer’s licenses. It’s now before the legislative commissioner’s office.
