They will not force you out of your gasoline-powered car physically. Instead they will tax you out of it. You want to drive a gasoline-powered car after the deadline? Well, go right ahead. Just pay a $1000 surcharge. And that number will increase annually.

Don’t wanna pay? Then no vehicle registration card for you. And good luck the next time a cop pulls you over for speeding or whatever.

Side note: Don’t worry about Barbra Streisand or Robert de Niro. They’ll have enough money to pay the surcharge and keep their big limos.

This is kind of how Japan gets older cars off of the road (and keep the Japanese car industry busy as well) Safety inspections. For the first years they are cheap and easy to pass, but as time goes on, they become more rigorous and expensive. After 10 years or so, it is unfeasible to keep an older car (unless it is a rare collectable). The used cars get sold in the 3rd world.

The same thing could be done here, except with ‘emission standards’. Can’t pass the standard, can’t register the car. Easy Peasy.

Ain’t gonna happen in California; we’ll all just do like the WETBACKS, steal a current license plate sticker off a “rich” guys car.
Or take the ticket, with 60 different FALSE addresses, “WHO THEY GONNA CALL”.
It won’t be MOONBEAM.
