Subject: Big step forward on ZEV direct sales—please sign in PRO on SB 6354
Washington Clean Car Choice Coalition Members and Friends;
I’m writing with exciting news: after many years of unsuccessful attempts to update Washington’s direct sales laws, Rivian and the Washington State Auto Dealers Association have reached an agreement on a path forward to expand direct sales for zero-emission vehicle-only manufacturers Rivian and Lucid. Thank you all of you who have been showing up publicly and to those who have supported quietly behind the scenes. We’re deeply grateful for your persistence, partnership, and steady advocacy over the years—for the time you’ve invested, the conversations you’ve helped move forward, and the credibility you’ve brought to this effort.
The bill, SB 6354, will be heard by the Washington State Senate Transportation Committee on Tuesday, February 24.
What SB 6354 does:
SB 6354 creates a pathway for established ZEV-only manufacturers to obtain Washington dealer licenses and sell directly to consumers, provided they operate an in-state service facility and have at least 300 vehicles registered to Washington residents before January 1, 2026.
How you can help: 1-minute sign-in to register support (no testimony required)
While this agreement has meaningful support in the Washington State Legislature, we also want committee members to understand how many organizations support expanding zero-emission vehicle purchasing options for consumers. We hope you sign-in to register support the legislation.
By Tuesday afternoon (2/24), please take one minute to sign in PRO for SB 6354. Your voice matters.

Thanks for adding your voice and joining Washingtonians across in support of expanding direct sales!
In gratitude,
Molly Keenan on behalf of Rivian and the Washington Clean Car Choice Coalition
