Wyoming's would-be ban on sale of electric vehicles veers off road
Like representatives from the Wyoming Dealership Association told the Wyoming Senate Minerals, Business and Economic Development Committee yesterday, EV investments have already begun and flippant statements opposing them aren't welcomed by Wyoming's auto dealers.
Marsha Allen, executive vice president of the WDA, said she also doesn't support state and federal mandates that"trickle down to policy in Wyoming," but it's too late to rebottle the genie: dealerships are already investing cash in EV equipment needed to keep their showrooms open. Allen said Cadillac's planned shift to an all-electric lineup by 2025, for example, has come with requirements from the company that dealerships invest their own money to build more lifts able to handle heavy EVs and charging stations.
Allen said Cadillac dealerships have had to make minimum investments of $250,000, while some have spent upwards of half a million. The resolution may have been just a statement, but it's one that asks dealerships to violate agreements already made with automakers and encourages consumers not to visit showrooms, Allen said.
