Murphy, governors tell Biden it’s time to park gas and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035
Updated Apr 21, 2021;
Gov. Phil Murphy was one of 12 governors who signed a bipartisan letter asking the Biden administration to meet climate change goals by ending the sale of “light-duty” combustion engine-powered cars and trucks by 2035, enhance federal funding of charging infrastructure, and provide tax credits for people to switch to electric vehicles.
The letter, sent Wednesday, seeks to address air pollution from transportation, which Murphy called the “largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in New Jersey.” Governors in neighboring New York and Connecticut also signed the letter.

Since then, automakers have been adding to that list, but they had little incentive to put new electric vehicle (EV) models on local lots. That changed in 2019, when Colorado adopted ZEV standards. “The standards will have a real impact on what carmakers make available here,” says Mike Salisbury, transportation energy lead for Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency. “I’m not knocking the LEAF, bu
