EV Executive Order

What is happening? North Carolina Governor issued Executive Order 271, establishing the Multi-State Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle, to require manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles to increase the number of their North Carolina fleets zero-emission starting by 2025.

Why is this important? The Executive Order will build upon North Carolina as a (1) national hub for truck and bus manufacturing and supply chain development; (2) improve NC Department of Health & Human Services data gathering for the impact of emissions on communities across the state; and (3) address the disproportionate impact emissions have on communities of color, low-income and rural communities
