In 2035 all new vehicles sold in Washington State, California and now Oregon will need to be Zero Emission Vehicles in order to be legally registered. As RVers we typically drive full size pick-ups that can meet the demands for our towing needs. Or as those with Motorhomes have a need for diesel fuel while also perhaps pulling a toad or dinghy to have for their adventures once they get to a location. What does this new 2035 EV law mean to RVers? 

In this episode former Washington State Representative Emily Wicks will be joining us. What makes Emily the perfect person to talk to is that she also was a member of the Transportation Committee and has first hand knowledge and experience working bipartisan with others to help draft the future of transportation in Washington State. So let’s find out together what the future may look like for RVers on the West Coast.
