8 States team up to support electric cars

No ZEV law here...the only part of the CARB guidelines that we did not adopt in 2005, because of auto dealer opposition. I don't think (though I am not sure) WA was even asked to participate.

Gov. Inslee just had a workshop a couple of days ago, and there is a possibility that WA will become a ZEV state. I have mixed feelings about it...I don't think we would be where we are without ZEV laws, but I suspect there may be better ways forward. I am not a big fan of supply-side mandates. Although I have to admit if a lot of states get on the ZEV bandwagon, the compliance automakers are going to find it in their own best interests to build compelling EVs.
 
I would love it if WA became a ZEV state. Screw the WA dealers. I am leasing a Ford Focus Electric and when I test drove the Leaf, the Volt and the FFE I found a massive disparity in my treatment at dealers. I was lucky to find a good Ford dealer as regards the FFE but it was luck and many others have had issues.
