So red-staters ‘hate’ california.
Isn’t california the state that has passed all kinds of travel restrictions to those red states whose policies they ‘hate?’
When you’re used to making up stories about hate by conservatives it comes pretty naturally, I suppose.
EV could be a nice fair weather second cars at best.
The problem is the “one size fits all approach” to all of this.
The left doesn’t want to understand that not everyone lives in urban areas where car chargers are more present, people like to travel or might have very long commutes or live in an house that require a basic rewire to accommodate a 60 amp charger.
Do electric cars have their place? Sure why not? I have no problem with a new technology competing with an older technology. That is fine with me. But the left isn’t about letting the best ideas float to the top, they are about control or mandates, force people to change even if they don’t see the need or already have investments in gasoline or diesel engine technology. We are suppose to stop, scrap our current vehicles and go out and buy what the left orders us to buy or else.
That is the problem, not the electric cars.
Electric cars are STUPID.
Hysterical headline - people outside of California don’t buy cars because of what they think of California. They buy ICE cars because they are cheaper, have longer range, and can refuel in 5 minutes instead of 3 hours.
No.
Maybe it isn’t only California but the EVs that are a crap idea too?
oh yeah, it’s all about hate. LA Times should start worrying about how the citizens of CA will survive without gas and oil by the year 2030, or whatever stupid date they put out there.
As capital spectator says:
The standard treatment for a run of inflation that's become too hot to tolerate is to adjust monetary policy to fight the beast. Invariably that shift translates to higher interest rates, which often leads to recession.
White liberal 'elites' can afford to own an electric car for show and virtue signaling - and an internal combustion car for reality, long trips and evaluations. The rest of us can't.

Can red states overcome their their hatred of California and embrace electric cars by lowering their intelligence and throwing aside common sense?
I don’t hate electric vehicles. I hate that they are being mandated by the government and shoved down our throats with no regard to the failings at this time of electric vehicles and the infrastructure. Let the market decide.
Oh, look ... another article stoking the party versus party flames.
Not when a replacement battery costs ten grand.
Is this a plan for success of failure? Is there sufficient power supply to power all the elector cars they want? Are there sufficient power stations along highways? Is electric transportation cheaper than other sources. This is designed to fail not succeed!
No, they cannot, nor should they.
“Can red states overcome their hatred of California and embrace electric cars?”
Let’s see how successful California is making the charging stations readily available and how efficient they are and whether all that power being sucked out of the power grid leads to rolling back outs.
