Listen "Bryce Chinault on EV Mandates in Connecticut"

Episode Synopsis

Connecticut is one of 17 states that currently complies with California’s stricter standards for vehicle emissions, pushing toward an improbably fast phaseout of gas-powered vehicles and making EVs a mandatory 100% of new car sales in just a few years. Bryce Chinault of the Yankee Institute discusses how the many economic and environmental tradeoffs of such a shift have state policymakers in Hartford questioning the wisdom of sticking with the EV mandate. For more, read Chinault’s recent Wall Street Journal op-ed: Connecticut Hits a ‘Speed Bump’ on the Race to Mandate EVs.
