Police Departments all over the nation are starting to buy EVs..

Will this be the catalyst for more EV infrastructure in the US? Is this the beginning of the end for the combustion engine?

California and Washington state will not allow non-EV sales past 2030.

And 16 others are already considering it.

@Like2play That was the old goals. This was revised a couple of weeks ago:

This is WA State, but we copied California.

@Northwest I am by Portland. We will see what happens.

@Like2play This was signed into law back in March (the earlier link I sent). I can't include the Governor's newsletters, as they're sent to me in email form. I am in Portland often. A lot of EV are not for sale in WA, as they're allocated to CA and OR first by dealers. I am negotiating with a dealer in Portland about getting a specific model (I don't want to buy a Tesla).

I think OR will follow what WA and CA do.
