New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy proposed rules this week requiring car manufacturers to increase the sales of electric vehicles and would mandate a total ban of all gas-powered vehicles over the next 12 years.

In a news release on Monday, the Democrat governor announced the Advanced Clean Cars II proposal was submitted to the state’s Office of Administrative Law that would mandate more sales of zero-emission vehicles. The proposal has to be approved by that office before it can take effect.
