Governor Ned Lamont says he’s unlikely to pursue electric vehicle mandates here in Connecticut, following Donald Trump’s reelection. Speaking yesterday in Shelton, Lamont indicated that federal standards tied to reducing greenhouse gas emissions will likely be put on hold. Earlier this year, state lawmakers decided against a proposal requiring electric vehicle plug-ins by 2035 after it faced a lot of pushback and public opposition. Senate Republicans call the governor’s remarks a win for taxpayers.
