Urge NM to adopt Clean Cars standards

New Mexico has proposed Advanced Clean Cars standards that the state Environmental Improvement Board will consider in May. Please urge the board to adopt these rules and move on to Clean Trucks rules as soon as possible!

New Mexico's proposed Clean Cars standards are a great opportunity to make climate progress while making affordable, clean electric vehicles much more accessible in our state.

We know we must end our dangerous dependence on oil and gas both to protect our children from climate disaster and protect our national security from oligarchs and dictators. Moving from gas-guzzling cars to electric vehicles is a great way to do that.

EVs are becoming much more popular as charging infrastructure has increased and more people realize how much they can save on gas and maintenance.

But New Mexicans often have a hard time finding electric vehicles at dealerships and dealers sometimes don't want to sell them because they generate fewer maintenance visits for service departments.

Adopting Clean Cars standards will require car companies to provide electric cars as an increasing percentage of their inventory.

Please urge the Environmental Improvement Board to adopt Clean Cars standards -- and add a personal note to increase your impact!

As a New Mexican who is urgently concerned about the climate emergency, I am writing to urge you to approve adoption of the Advanced Clean Cars standard as quickly as possible. New Mexicans' health, climate and future is at stake. Cleaner cars is a critical tool in solving the urgent climate crisis, but they will also save New Mexicans an estimated $20 billion by 2050 and improve community health significantly. You can take important and significant steps to protect our children, our communities and our economy by taking action now.
