The Daily Mail reports that eight states are planning to BAN the sale of gas-powered cars entirely – after Biden unveiled ambitious plans to phase them out by 2032.
California was the first state to adopt the plan to ban sales of gas cars by 2035. Electric vehicles made up 7.6 percent of new car sales in the US last year.
It seems clear that the government will ban gas stations at some point, and they don’t seem to care that you can’t afford an EV.
The rule, first adopted by California, means that automakers and dealerships would be banned from selling new gas cars in these states from that point onwards.
This follows the UN Agenda 2030 exactly. The UN is a dictator’s club and not our friend. If you think Asia or any non-Western country will follow us down this road, think again.
Rhode Island was the most recent state to join the list of states pledging to ban the sale of gas-powered cars, joining Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington.
According to Money, the District of Columbia has also made the commitment.
Other states have adopted versions of the legislation but have not yet pledged to ban gas-powered cars entirely by that date.
For example, Delaware and Colorado last year finalized rules that would require 82 percent of new cars to be zero-emissions vehicles in 2032, but officials have not adopted 2035 bans.
Traditional gas-powered cars on the road wouldn’t be affected, and drivers would still be allowed to buy used gas-powered cars. Automakers and dealerships, however, would be prohibited from selling new gas vehicles in states where bans are in place.
Democrats are destroying us and our national security.
Please learn about Agenda 2030. It’s ruining my little village in New York with apartment buildings. The UN wants my village to become an urban hub.
Doesn’t matter how bad or heavy the chains are...
The American peasants will just grin and bear the added tyranny...
Limiting the freedom to travel outside a neighborhood has always been a sought-after communist goal...
Also under the Salton Sea. Eco-nuts won’t allow mining it until it’s too late.
The Salton Sea is not a natural lake, so why would they care?................
Cal will not ban gas stations per se; they will tax them out of business. We already have the highest gas taxes (which a majority voted for) In 2035 the tax will be triple on gas.
Lol. EVs are called remote coal burning devices for a reason.
That’s why they want to take your guns away. Especially if you work at or own a gas station.
Thus enabling the Feds to usher in their dream of 15 minute cities.
I’m not worried. I’ll be dead by then.
Oh, they would find a reason, or an excuse would be a better word perhaps.
Try and tell me what to drive and you’ll be very, very shocked to find you have lead poisoning.
I reject the EVs out of hand because of their current use to perpetuate the Global Climate Hoax and WEF's Agenda 2030.
I also feel sure you are right that the left will try to control us with more of a slow-boil-kills-the-frog approach, because they have been following that course for more then seventy years at least.
But I also suspect that some of TPTB will get tired of their slow progress and orchestrate a Black Swan Event that will make any discussion here moot.
How about mountain states like California, Colorado, the Appalachia, or upstate New York? Sure, for every uphill there is a corresponding downhill, but would the uphill drive draw more electricity than constant flat-road driving given the extra weight of EVs?

Actually my part of Alabama is quite hilly. Not mountainous, but not flat either. I'm in the southern portion of the Appalachian chain somewhat close to Birmingham. The regen braking going downhill charges the battery to somewhat compensate for the extra charge needed to go uphill.
To your point, the constant up and down hill driving I do does use up more power than if I lived in a flat area (reducing range if I try to do a long trip on nothing but mountains). But to my point, in a gas car there's no concept of the downhills giving me a little gas to make up for using extra gas going uphill. In other words, if all of your local driving is hilly/mountainous like mine then the gas savings of an EV might be more than someone living in a flat area (and all other things being equal like climate and gas prices and power prices and driving habits). Bonus points in that I don't have to use my brakes as much in the EV when going downhill as in the gas car (because regen braking does most of the braking I need). So I have less brake wear in the EV than I do in my gas car.
But I wouldn't get an EV if I lived in cold Colorado or New York for obvious reasons.
All of these kind of details are a great example of how it'd be better off if the Dims got the govt out of the way and let us choose cars on nothing but the free market.
I have a 1961 Two Door VW truck....I would like to sell it....
FWIW=
What do you make of "recharge anxiety?" Would hilly driving that eats up distance increase someone's recharge anxiety?

“ Traditional gas-powered cars on the road wouldn’t be affected, and drivers would still be allowed to buy used gas-powered cars. Automakers and dealerships, however, would be prohibited from selling new gas vehicles in states where bans are in place.”
American fascism on full display…it’s our form of government. The largest, most populous fascist nation in history. Hitler and Mussolini would be very jealous.
What YOU said...before gas cars are gone there will be worse issues, ie food, healthcare, war...
However, when taking a long trip I did have to once take into account an increase in elevation from starting point to finish. It's not as much a problem if the uphills equal the downhills. The problem is if the average uphills are more than the downhills. It's not a biggy as long as you do your homework. Assuming the trip you're going on is good for an EV anyway (I wouldn't get an EV unless you're married and need 2 cars anyway so the other car is an ICE car for the every now and then use that's not good for an EV).
The hybrid engine is good for about 2 miles at 30 mph on a flat road, but that's not what it's for. However, I hear that new plug-in hybrids can give somewhere between 20 and 50 miles before the ICE kicks in. Since I don't commute anymore (and when I did I only drove to the park-and-ride lot six miles from home), I could see getting a plug-in hybrid for local errands.
What do you know about plug-in hybrids?
