Massachusetts Unveils Plan to Slash Vehicle Emissions
The governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Barker, is determined to do what’s necessary to help cut emissions coming from his state. It’s an ambitious plan for zero net emissions by 2050, and while it focuses on several industries, it takes a hard look at cars.
To meet the emissions goal, Barker plans to start a “decade for action,” according to
Commonwealth Magazine. By 2030, the governor’s office would like to see 750,000 electric vehicles on the streets of Massachusetts. That’s a pretty ambitious hurdle to jump, considering that there are only about 30,000 EVs and hybrid currently registered in the state. It hopes that about 50 percent of new cars sold in the state by the end of 2030 are zero-emission light-duty vehicles. This will lead to a light-duty fossil-fuel cars ban by 2035.
