Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) surprised an audience of electric vehicle supporters on Tuesday by announcing it was not the right time for the state to adopt a new bill that would impose California’s emission standards.

Pritzker, who maintained that the state was still devoted to replacing gas cars with electric vehicles, said there were other incentives to transition the state to EVs.
