--- "...the death blow to dealers"

I suspect something quite akin to the Democrat-controlled cities wherein gun sales from "across state lines" are bemoaned because their own policies fail.

New Jersey Democrats would have to ban registration of new and used non-EV vehicles bought elsewhere and brought to NJ, and that would be most fun to watch. Court suits and more....

“Murphy claims the new mandate won’t impose any obligations on consumers or car dealers”

...he said while imposing obligations on the consumers and car dealer.

“He has also signed New Jersey on to the Accelerating to Zero Coalition’s Zero Emission Vehicle Declaration, a global pact that will commit the state to a zero-emission vehicle future.”

Does a state have a right to sign on to a foreign treaty, bind itself and its citizens to that treaty?

I sense you’re not a fan of Buc’ees. Undoubtedly, they get incentives from communities wanting them to build there. Each location provides hundreds of jobs. They’re always busy. I’m about a half hour drive from 4 Buc’ees in North Texas, I love it!

“This **** will come to an end when we refuse to comply.”

I have no doubt that that’s true.

“I think eventually you’ll see portable generators that will be sold to people with all-electric cars.”

They GONE 6 months from now, due to other mandates about to take hold.

Perhaps some people can home-build them, but that’s about it.

If the Left flips Texas as has been done in Georgia and Arizona, then crazy legislation will be passed by Congress, which will be far more difficult to challenge than agency rules, which are often overturned by the courts. Then finis America. Learn Spanish for Costa Rica, or Hungarian or Polish.

“Incidentally, I follow a couple of used car dealers on YouTube and they say the auction prices of Teslaas have dropped well below where they were for an equivalent vehicle. They’re also below the equivalent gas car. The bloom is off the rose.”

There never was a rose. But if I marketing major, Tesla’s would be a great Case Study on how a snazzy, but inferior product (which EVs are, by definition), can fly off the shelves - fill the niche of people who need them for social reason (1% to 2% of the country) and then fall-flat as the rest of the country assess them in the cold, brutal, way they assess most things they shop for.

I have looked into Costa Rica and have taken 4 years of Spanish.

From an NJ electric utility company...

You have to buy the EV Charger ... no assistance toward its purchase.

here’s the PDF that goes with it:

When they discovered that they could force people to get Obama care agaisnt their will, under penalty of the law if they didn’t, thnaks to the feckless spineless John Robert’s, they discovered that they can force anyone to do whatever they wanted them to do. Thr mandate for masks proved that if you didn’t comply, you were not allowed to do,many things like grocery shop, go to doctors, hospitals etc.

The left have waged a hostile takeover of ghe country, and far too many businesses like health care etc are far too willing to help them meet their goals of domination

Quoting the well traveled mother of an ex employer of mine; "The workers in these other countries don't have cars or big houses and they seem perfectly happy. Why can't our workers be like that?" (emphasis on "our", hers)

Same in my neck of the woods. People have far more pressing issues to purchase and fix than to plunk down a lot of money on a crappy electric vehicle. I can not beleive the insanity has reached such a feverish pitch in so short a time. The left are hell bent on destroying what we know works, to replace it with tech that we know will be a total nightmare, a d which folks simply will not be able to afford.

They pitch it as “electric vehicles will be cheaper to “refuel” than gasoline, but the writing is on the wall, and as soon as enough people are forced into electric only, the price for electricity Wil. Skyrocket, and blackouts will be a daily issue. The liberal media are already trying to convince people that rolling blackouts are coming, but that we all must do our part and accept them as a new way of life.

Am I wrong, or would this not create a massive land-rush business to adjoining states that sold gas-powered cars?
