On Wednesday, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, announced that at the end of the year, the state would no longer comply with California's electric vehicle (E.V.) mandate.
"The idea that government should tell people what kind of car they can or can't purchase is fundamentally wrong," Youngkin said in a statement. "Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses. The law is clear, and I am proud to announce Virginians will no longer be forced to live under this out-of-touch policy."
