Nevada became the country’s 16th “Clean Cars” state on Friday after the State Legislative Commission passed the regulation on an 8-4 vote.
Clean Cars Nevada will provide Nevadans with more choices for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles beginning 2024 and will strengthen vehicle emissions standards to curb transportation pollution, Gov. Steve Sisolak’s office announced Friday.
“Clean Cars Nevada is a huge victory for the Silver State,” Sisolak said in the statement. “Transportation is the No. 1 source of greenhouse gas emissions in Nevada and drives disproportionate pollution burdens for historically underserved communities.
