hmm...they catch on fire after 3,000 miles.
That's a lot of gasoline.
So, people will buy out of state..........after they move.......
So now will we be forced to buy an electric vehicle? I live in Calif. what if I dont want an electric vehicle
This is great for the used car business and for buying cars out of state.
I can hardly imagine what a new car in California will cost. I only hope the car manufacturers can contain the added costs within California’s borders rather than spread the cost out nationally.
Coming later will be the QFP (Queers, Freaks, & Perverts) Board mandating that 1 in 15 marriages must be queer marriages. Marriages will be mandatory and will be determined by random draw. Sorry, but you will not have a choice in the matter as the State of Californicate has determined that it is in the public interest to maintain and celebrate minority populations.
In a move that could reshape the American automobile industry, California regulators Thursday are expected to approve sweeping new rules...
Boy, they think thet make up 95% of the USA...Only illegals will be left at that date, and they don`t speak gringo.
That’s stupid. How much will it use in electricity?
Electricity costs the earth in CA, because of the wacko greenies.
California entering the Dark Ages.
He's right - it IS going to be transformational. It's going to help transform Kalifornia into a third world hell hole, where all the productive people who want freedom of choice and to be able to live in a non-repressive environment that's not ruled over by libtard nutjobs will head to better states, leaving behind nothing but the hordes of parasites with their hands out, feeding off of the crumbs left behind.
Hey CARB eat my shorts.. I’ll buy what I want
If I had a hand in writing the rules, I'd mandate that illegals can only buy and drive electric cars, or leave California. And the recharging instructions will only be in English. There, that kills two problems!
Who thinks up this stuff? Does anyone think about the consequences?
Does this apply to new cars only? Dealers will sue. I see a new industry springing up already - straw buyers in neighboring states.
How will they enforce? Refuse to register any new cars until someone buys an electric one? They'll need to check for weapons at the title office, people going postal will be a daily occurance.
How many new cars are sold in CA every year? A Million? 15% of that is 150,000. And how many alternative-fuel vehicles are built every year? Not that many, I'll wager. Let's see, 5000 Volts, Maybe 7000 Leafs, a few hundred Teslas. The other 137,000 potential buyers? There's always next year!
Apart from electric cars, the latest rules also affect vehicles that run on gasoline and diesel, requiring a 75 percent reduction in smog-forming emissions from new cars, SUVs, pickups and minivans. And they require a roughly 50 percent reduction in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. That would force carmakers tobuild more fuel-efficient gasoline and diesel models.stop selling cars in California.
Fixed it for them.
And they are also considering taking out 4 hydroelectic dams on the Kalamoth River, bragging it’ll create jobs and improve the salmon population. We just got a peaker plant approved after 4 years of litigation. What will replace the hydro dams, which is supposed to charge these battery wonders.
Then your face will be up on the post office wall as a wanted for air pollution!
Lunacy.
