in terms of inventory,” Miller said. “ ... But, considering it has become the new normal to have to order a vehicle due to the lack of inventory from Covid problems, it might not be such a big deterrent, because people will be able to get them other places or even special order.”
Building out the infrastructure is key to Utah growing its electric vehicle inventory, say clean energy advocates. Here, cars charge at the electric vehicle charging station at Soldier Hollow Golf Course, in Midway, on Monday, June 20, 2022. In what is probably the most promising news for Utah’s air quality, cars manufactured in 2017 or sooner are now more than a third of vehicles registered in Utah. That is important because 2017 is when Tier 3 gasoline cars were introduced. When combined with Tier 3 gasoline, they reduce emissions by as much as 80 percent versus old cars and non-Tier 3 fuels.There was a drop in natural gas vehicles last year.
And there are only two hydrogen-powered vehicles registered in Utah: One passenger car and one light truck. Hydrogen, which can be produced and burned without generating greenhouse gasses, has been touted as a green solution for the trucking industry, but it hasn’t materialized here. Unlike California, which has a network of hydrogen stations, there is no hydrogen refueling infrastructure in Utah.
Good to see some growth in cleaner energies but we need much more quickly. Utah state leaders need to incentivize the change as opposed to protecting dirty oil and gas extraction.
