 On July 3, 2023, Governor Lujan Grisham announced that the state would adopt Advanced Clean Cars and Advanced Clean Trucks rules to further advance New Mexico's goals of ensuring New Mexicans have access to zero-emission vehicles, like electric cars, qualified plug-in vehicles, and hydrogen trucks.
Under these rules, in 2026, car manufacturers will have to make sure 43% of the cars and light trucks they deliver to New Mexico are zero-emissions vehicles. That percentage will increase each year until 2032, when 82% of the vehicles they deliver to New Mexico will be zero-emissions.
