"New Jersey's Ambitious Goal: Only Electric Cars Sold by 2035"

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is pushing forward with a plan to only allow the sale of new electric vehicles in the state starting in 2035, following the lead of states like California. The proposal would require 35% of new cars sold in 2027 to be electric, with the percentage increasing annually. Supporters argue that it is necessary to address the climate crisis, while opponents, including car dealerships, express concerns about increased prices and limited consumer choice. The Murphy administration aims to have the regulation in place by the end of this year, with a public comment period expected to begin in late August.
