Washington state bans new gas light vehicle sales as of 2030

You can already save a lot of money by registering your car in a lower tax state. Though the thing that keeps people from doing that is that it's illegal, and has a significant fine if you're caught -- and if caught you need to register the car and pay the applicable taxes.

But in this case, you wouldn't have the option to register the car, and you probably couldn't get a transit permit, so you'd have to hire someone to tow it out of state where it can be sold.

Just self-identify the gas cars as electric. The loons will be easily fooled by that.

Grew up in Washington, back before it became infested with idiot politicians and others from the liberal states to the south.

Have family still living there. Brother will leave as soon as he retires. Sister kinda stuck. Sorry state of affairs. Doubt I will be able to return other than a short visit in my lifetime unfortunately. It is (or was) a beautiful state. I just couldn't live there with the current politics.

I thought I’d avoid all this electric vehicle legislation due to my advanced age, however...

and that is why major parts of Or. and Wa. want to become part of the new proposed State of "Greater Idaho" which would stretch from the Wyoming boarder to the Pacific. I truly feel for all of those negatively impacted by Portland and Seattle politics.

Washington is a blue state so I'm not surprised.

I can see no place where the Gov. has signed this into law. It was narrowly passed by the House and senate and is on its way to our idiot gov.
If so, the title of this thread is very misleading and flat out false.

Is that legal? No idea. I’m not American.

Only until the local LEO find out. :B

Yep. That’s how it is here. Plus your insurance company can disallow a claim if your insured for a place that is not your primary area. Might be dicey.
