Cities aren't writing tickets or fines if you don't decide to purchase an electric vehicle.
They may choose policies that incentivize EV use to meet climate/environmental goals, but any sort of enforcement policy that mandates private citizens must purchase and drive EVs would quickly get shot down in court.
- jjav 3y ago> any sort of enforcement policy that mandates private citizens must purchase and drive EVs would quickly get shot down in court. Citation? Have any been shot down in court? There are plenty of locations that have passed laws that all new cars be EVs after year 20XX (for example 2035 in California). I suspect most of those will be reverted as overly optimistic, but for now, they are in place.
- iAMkenough 3y agoGive me a municipality that currently requires its citizens to sell their ICE vehicle and purchase an EV and I will eat my words.
- jjav 3y agoNobody has mentioned having to sell ICE cars, so that's a strawman that doesn't apply. In terms of buying, yes, if all new cars must be EVs then an EV is the only thing you will be able to buy new.
- iAMkenough 3y agoAlright, then give me a municipality that enforces "all new cars must be EVs." I'm particularly interested in the enforcement action taken if a resident purchases a new ICE vehicle in the next county or state over.
