Maine environmental regulators decided Wednesday the state will not join a growing number of states adopting new standards designed to grow the use of electric vehicles

. The rules, which originated in California, would have required an increasing percentage of new light-duty vehicles to be zero emission vehicles every year. The new standards would have started with 51% in 2028 and grow to 82% by 2032. The Maine Board of Environmental Protection's vote on the proposal Wednesday had been anticipated for weeks.

“Mandating them either in the case of trucks or passenger vehicles will not change that dynamic.” Environmental groups had rallied in support of the proposal. A dozen states have adopted the electric vehicle standards, and 17 states have adopted all or part of California's low-emission and zero-emission vehicle regulations, according to the California Air Resources Board.
