New York really wants to reduce its Electoral College representation…
Last NY resident to leave, please shut off the light... oh,yeah... never mind.
If the article is correct you will still be able to own and drive any type of car. Only EVs will be sold in NY, what an idiot.
More tax and job erosion, but you can still drive what you want. Car dealerships will pop up right across the state lines.
Typical liberal/leftist short-sightedness when it comes to unintended consequences. So it's 2035, and you can either pay a premium for that zero emissions car, and start looking for charging stations etc. ... Or you can buy that medium duty truck, that the manufacturers have thoughtfully equipped to have all the features and ride comfort of nice car. Sure, the medium duty truck is big and heavy and gets poor gas mileage. But it is familiar, it avoids all the charging problems you've been hearing about, and then there was the big hack of XYZ's electric vehicles in 2032 that scared everyone...
Prediction - the net effect will be *more* emissions, not less. This will provide incentives to use bigger trucks to avoid the law. Power generation still comes mostly from fossil fuels, so we'll have the reduced efficiencies there of burning, converting, transmitting, converting, storing, utilizing... SMH...
Does she think she’ll be Gov forever ? LOL
All tied into China now that they got the opportunity to mine all that lithium in Afghanistan.
And the big money poppy fields.
And when the power goes out after a hurricane or blizzard?
Much like the rental car companies registering in Massachusetts and the trailers registered in Maine, New York is going to see a lot of out-of-state plates.
I can’t help but wonder if Gov. Kathy Hochul also signed a proclamation of some sort requiring some company or individual to invent a battery that can get 300+ miles on a charge and can be recharged 99% in less than a half hour.
Still searching for that particular Eldorado after 120 years.
No such thing. Unless it's powered by sail or gravity only.
How is NY going to produce the energy to charge all the batteries?
Surely not wind or solar.
5.56mm
They will not be mining anything unless they are going to pay the billions needed for infrastructure and technology to be able to mine period.
She’s planning lots of nuclear power plants? Windmills on the crest of every mountain and offshore the entire length of Long Island? A solar panel on every roof?
Or just a lot of peasants repairing their old gasoline beaters a la Cuba, until the state turns off the pumps?
As a young man, I lived in apartment buildings that had communal laundry, usually in the basement.
Invariably,some one would leave their wash in the machine for HOURS. Arguments were common!
I can see a similar scenario over charging ports in multi family housing.
At the rate the country is going we will all be living in caves throwing excrement at each other by then, so this sounds doable!
Electric cars are NOT “zero emission”!
COAL!!!!
And their production uses Chinese materials, and is also far from “zero emission”!
Better stick to gasoline-powers vehicles! PHOOEY!!!!
Excellent!
Zero emissions = Zero traffic = Zero federal gas tax = Zero possibility...
Expect to do a lot of walking.
