SANTA FE—Late yesterday, the unelected members of the Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) passed a controversial rule requiring the forced transition of new vehicle sales to electric on a 3-2 vote. Two of the seven-member board did not vote on the measure. The rule will require auto manufacturers to deliver to New Mexico forty-three percent zero-emission vehicles beginning with model year 2027. That percentage is increased to eighty-two percent by model year 2032.
