The state is also focused on electrifying transportation. The Massachusetts 2050 Decarbonization Roadmap calls for emissions from light-duty transportation to be reduced to nearly zero by 2050. The primary strategy to reduce light-duty transportation emissions is switching from fossil-fueled vehicles to zero emissions vehicles.
And, Massachusetts will require all new cars sold to be electric by 2035. The Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2030 sets a goal of increasing the number of electric vehicles on the roads to 750,000 by 2035, when all new “light-duty” vehicles, or passenger cars, sold will be mandated to be zero-emissions, meaning either electric or hydrogen fuel-cell cars, which also run on electricity.
