Albuquerque – Today, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham celebrated committee passage of a new tax credit for the purchase of electric vehicles. The Governor's efforts to force electric vehicles on New Mexicans continues to be a failure with less than 1 percent of state vehicles being EVs despite massive federal subsidies and rebates.
"New Mexicans don't support Governor Lujan Grisham's forced EV mandate no matter how many tax dollars she throws at it," said Larry Behrens. "It's mind-boggling that during the same legislative session where she is trying to raise costs on oil and gas workers, she wants to make sure EV owners in Santa Fe don't pay their fair share. In a poll we conducted just this month, we found 59 percent of New Mexicans don't support the Governor's EV mandate."
