Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) is looking to repeal the state's electric vehicle mandate if his party does well in Virginia's November elections.
A spokeswoman for the governor claimed the mandate, which adopts California's strict air quality standards and is designed to increase the use of electric vehicles, has had poor results in California. Virginia's adherence to the mandate was put in place during former Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam's administration, making Virginia one of only 17 states tied to California's emission standards.
"In a partisan fashion, Virginia's Democrats blocked Gov. Youngkin's legislative proposal this year to remove Virginia from the California model," Porter said."Their actions have allowed Virginia to be hostage to the extreme policies of unelected bureaucrats in California. We have seen the results of the poor energy planning in California, and we will work to ensure that is not the energy future for Virginia.
