Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive directive Tuesday forcing the state government's entire fleet of vehicles, both light-duty and heavy-duty, to transition to zero-emission.

Under Whitmer's actions, Michigan's state agencies must convert all state-owned light-duty vehicles to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) by 2033 and all medium and heavy-duty vehicles by 2040. The governor said the move — which earned endorsements from clean energy groups, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and Detroit Regional Chamber — would reduce pollution and lead to lower costs in the state.

Makes it easier to outrun the popos if they’re in Chevy Volts. I approve.

Adds a bunch more in taxes to support the fleet, every one of those vehicles will likely need new engines every year and replacement batteries every couple of years.

Then stop paying taxes and see how they try to enforce.
