MLG’s Unelected Construction Industries Commission votes 6-2 in favor of EV charger mandates

Despite public opposition including 750 signatures from verified New Mexicans opposed to the Gov.’s latest proposal to foist EV charging stations on commercial and residential buildings, the Construction Industries Commission decided today to adopt the Gov.’s mandate. Mandating EV chargers and equipping them for future EV chargers will raise costs on new commercial and residential buildings.

The vote was 6-2. You can find the list of members here though we know that Dale Armstrong was one of the opponents, we don’t have the exact vote.

Here is a useful if highly biased take from an environmental group that supported the new codes.
