If electric cars still sound like a novelty to you, that novelty is about to become mandatory in certain states. Washington State just passed a bill requiring all light-duty vehicles made in 2030 or later to be electric.
The “Clean Cars 2030” bill is designed to prepare the state for all-electric transportation and makes Washington the first state to legislatively pass a gas car ban. While Massachusetts and California also plan gas car bans by 2035, Washington’s date for enforcing the policy is the earliest in the country, Electrek reported.
