Letter: New EV goals are manageable

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 4, 2024

Tim Kirner’s Feb. 9 op-ed, “Any Mainer can buy an electric vehicle. No one should have to,” is misleading. The program would actually require all new vehicles sold in Maine to be electric or plug-in hybrid by 2035. Buyers wanting the flexibility of gasoline can buy a hybrid. The used vehicle market, where two-thirds of Mainers buy their cars, would be unaffected. ~ Allen Armstrong, Portland
