Notice Newscum scheduled this ban for when he is out of office and it will be someone else’s headache.
So, let me get this straight. A state that has trouble supplying water, food and electricity wants all vehicles to be electric. The perfect storm.
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that climate change policy was NEVER about saving the planet.
Pipe Dream IMHO. We are in no way ready to cancel fossil fuel.
“Since when did that ever stop libtards from enacting their insane policies?”
Why do we think they’re “insane”? I don’t see any insanity in this. The government simply DOES NOT want people driving their own cars, or living in their own homes.
What they are doing is PERFECTLY RATIONAL to achieve those objectives.
The only ‘insane’ people I see in this are the people on our side thinking that Democrats share the same values as Americans.
I could be called a terrible person but I hope California goes ahead with this ban on gas powered cars, I want to see the utter chaos and disaster it creates and for California continue to turn into the hell hole it already is
Our cars will look like Cuba’s shortly after this ban...
If California and now Washington and Massachusetts successfully ban the sale of gas cars they will effectively nationalize the bans because the autocos will follow the California ban nationwide. It will render the green grid inoperative and crash the economy due to the newly erratic grid and to the inability to afford EVs as a huge percentage of employees will no longer be able to get to work.
Get on your pony and ride Clyde....
The legal theory that this is unconstitutional is retarded.
Expanding the “Commerce Clause” to make reducing economies of scale unconstitutional is retarded.
If this is the case then there are no States Rights. None.
Southern States can’t have Dry Counties because it reduces the economies of scale of California wine. Increasing the cost to everyone else.
Banning Abortion reduces the Economies of Scale of the Abortion industry. Increasing the cost to everyone else.
Californians will be able to buy 2035 Model Year Gas cars out of State. They just won’t be able to register them in California.
15% of all cars sold in California in the first half of 2022 were fully electric.
35% in 2026. And 80% in 2035 is not unrealistic. Adoption of new technology is not linear. It is exponential.
In 2035 20% of an automakers sales will be allowed to be plug in hybrids. That get at least 50 miles of all electric range.
This carveout is for pickus/Suvs to be able to do long distance heavy towing without stopping to charge every ~100 miles. But it may be that battery tech improves enough this is not necessary.
I am sick to death of folks who don’t like what their state government is doing just talk of moving to a different state or just packing up and moving. That does not help your state. Why aren’t people standing up and fighting with everything they have whether Repub or Dem, to stop their legislature from pulling this crap? There’s people across the country who are fighting their local schoolboards or running to replace members of the schoolboards and they are winning!
The interesting thing, unless I’ve missed something, is the silence from automakers. It suggests that either a.) they don’t care, because they are on board (for what reason, who can say), or b.) know it will never be implemented.
I’d love to see CA just GIVE AWAY EVs... In a state where they currently have rolling blackouts every summer... Where their electrical grid is holding on by a thread... Where they take every opportunity to shut down sources of power... Where the state will need to subsidize thousands of high capacity charging stations for the people who don’t have garages...
As usual, blue-state pols who don’t think about the ramifications of their idiotic fantasies they foist on the public.

Yup—you can’t have a true third world country without a third world electric grid.
That means that the politicians and the rich zip codes get power while the peons live in slums with intermittent electricity at best.
The electric cars will only be able to charge in the wealthy districts so owning vehicles will not make sense for the peons.
For average folks it will be bicycles, horses and donkeys.
Bears repeating.
Hydrogen fueled cars will push the EV to the wayside China is already the leading manufacture of it for a reason many auto companies already have some on the road.
Jets and trains are converting over to it also time to get in the market.$$$$$$
When has either legality or practicality stopped Libtoids in Bloom?

Californias water problem is due to resource mismanagement. Their wildfire problem is also due to mismanagement.
