OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Inslee has signed an executive order that seeks to move state government to an all-electric fleet of vehicles by 2035.
The order requires the 24 executive branch agencies under Inslee’s control to buy battery-powered electric vehicles to replace passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks once they need to be replaced.
For medium and heavy-duty vehicles and trucks, if a battery-powered model is not available, agencies must acquire the lowest-emission, cost-effective option, such as hybrid electric.
