Maine is looking to consider limiting the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in the future, following California’s lead along with several other states, AP News reports.

A proposal for the “Advanced Clean Cars II” plan will be reviewed by the Board of Environmental Protection (BEP) on Thursday, Dec. 21. Starting in 2027, it would require 82% of new vehicles sold to emit zero emissions by the 2032 model year. 

Forty-three percent of 2027 models would have to be zero-emission vehicles. It will increase to 82% by model year 2032, and includes electric and fuel-cell vehicles, with a partial credit for plug-in hybrids. It would still allow for the sale of non-electric, heavier-duty trucks that weigh 8,500 pounds or more.

The proposal has been met with criticism, with Maine residents voicing opposition during a public hearing this past summer. House Republican leader Billy Bob Faulkingham argued the plan isn’t practical, citing the state’s geography and infrastructure.

Though the Alliance for Automotive Innovation expressed support for the proposal, it also noted the obstacles standing in the way. Electric vehicle sales would have to increase sevenfold to meet the goal, and tens of thousands of charging stations will need to be added to the state.

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has not taken an official stance on the proposal, but BEP is carefully considering the move, according to Jeff Crawford, director of the Bureau of Air Quality for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
