Minnesota has officially adopted regulations championed by Gov. Tim Walz to encourage the switchover to electric vehicles. The “clean car” rules published Monday in the State Register take effect in 2024 with the 2025 model year.
According to a press release, the new standards will reduce carbon emissions, create good-paying jobs, boost Minnesota’s manufacturing industry, and increase the choices Minnesotans have in purchasing cars. This isn t just about reducing carbon emissions. We can show you, the CDC and others can show you the number of lives that are lost from air pollution and other things we do each and every year, Gov. Tim Walz said in a press conference on Monday. And so if you think of this from a stewardship or social responsibility standpoint, it s a good decision.
