Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday signed six bills he said will “strengthen California’s best-in-the-nation electric vehicle market” and help the state reach its goal of getting 1.5 million zero-emission cars on the road by 2025.

SB1275 by Sen. Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, creates the “Charge Ahead California Initiative” which provides financial incentives to low-income residents who trade in polluting cars for electric vehicles.

Low income people can buy $100,000 Teslas? And I got to subsidize it?

Governor Moonbeam strikes again!

Why don't they just outlaw motorized vehicles and be done with the eventual extermination
of capitalism in CA. What's the hold up?

[MeshugeMikey]

the huge PROBLEMS with the existent Charging Stations are already manifold....with many such stations being reported as DYSFUNCTIONAL aka USELESS....

Im sure jerry brown in his pseudo mystical way.... will snap his fingers and cure these problems ..as soon as he’s made aware of them.

Think Moonbeam Jerry will be able to get all those “low riders” in LA off the roads? As it is you don’t need a license, registration or plates and insurance to drive there if you have the “illegal immigrant get out of jail free card”.

zero-emission cars??? what, do they run on air???

the phrase that commie fag loving liar is avoiding is more like transferred emission cars...

[RightGeek]

"zero-emission cars"

I guess electric cars run on unicorn farts

[blackdog]

And the electricity comes from coal, gas, or nuclear utilities. So how can these be zero emissions cars?

C’mon San Andreas. Do it! Do it! Do it!

Less than a year till we move to Texas!!! Away from this craziness.

At the average cost per Kwh in the United States, it costs $2.38 per charge to travel 38 miles. That means it's(Chevy Volt) less fuel efficient than my wife's 1992 Honda Sedan which we paid $700 for in 2001. Our 2006 Toyota Corolla gets 41mpg highway and about 30 in the city. We paid $3,000 for that.

So for low income people trying to stretch their dollar and save the planet, the governor's numbers just don't hunt?

I did not even begin to factor in depreciation and insurance costs. Insuring a used Toyota Corolla runs $600 per year for collision and liability. A $36,000 Chevy Volt runs about $1,600 with full coverage.

Jerry Brown just gave 1 million California illegal aliens drivers licenses and I don’t think they will be driving electric vehicles.

[terycarl]

the zero emission cars, in most parts of the country, plug into coal fired electric power plants.......a coal powered car....O.K. I guess...

[Slambat]

I guess you can add electric tards to that bowl of fruits
and nuts.

Before 2025, Californians will all be riding bicycles and wearing rice hats.
