The electric vehicle wave is hitting Colorado.
Aiming to get mileage out of theOn Thursday, the agency unveiled a draft update with a goal of electrifying a bigger share ofOne of the goals is to have at least 35,000 electric or hydrogen-fueled medium- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road by 2030. A target is that 100% of the new sales in the category be zero-emission vehicles by 2050.
“We’ve seen a remarkable acceleration in EV sales in Colorado over the last few years. It’s basically tripled since 2019,” Toor said. “We are at approximately a 10% market share right now.” Still, electric vehicles make up just under 68,000, or 1.4% of passenger vehicles, state data shows. The state is considering an initiative, the Clean Truck Strategy, to electrify medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which include school buses, delivery vans, work trucks and semitrailers.
Some conservationists are urging the state to follow the lead of California and a handful of other states and extend the standard through 2035, when 100% of the sales of new light-duty vehicles will have to be zero-emission vehicles. Toor said in an interview that the energy office believes extending the rule through 2032 aligns more closely with other state regulations and policies that use 2030 as the deadline for a round of greenhouse-gas emissions reductions. He said calculations showed the 2032 target date could help Colorado achieve 90-95% of the benefits of the longer period while providing car buyers some flexibility.
