Dems push to pump brakes on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s ‘nearly impossible’ electric truck rule (only 5.88 years left)

State Democratic lawmakers are trying to pump the brakes on the Hochul administration’s “nearly impossible” green-energy rule requiring more new large trucks to be emissions-free.

The proposal, pushed by state Sen. Jeremy Coney Cooney (D-Rochester) and Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D-Binghamton), would postpone the start of the Democratic governor’s edict until at least Jan. 1, 2027.

Hochul’s recent “Advanced Clean Trucks” rule requires manufacturers of vehicles greater than 8,500 pounds to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles in New York, starting with a 7% zero emissions sales percentage in 2025 and ramping up every model year through 2035, to 40% for tractor sales and up to 75% for other trucks.

The legislators said the green edict promoting electric and even hydrogen-powered trucks is wreaking havoc on an important industry.

“Unfortunately, the ACT regulations are nearly impossible for the trucking industry to comply with because of a lack of truck charging infrastructure, cost factors, and other challenges,” Lupardo said in a memo supporting her bill.

“Battery charging times are also a challenge and will remain so until new technology emerges and is commercialized,” she said.

The legislators noted that an average diesel truck can be refilled in about 10 minutes and can drive for about 2,000 miles.

By comparison, an electric, zero-emission heavy-duty truck takes approximately 10 hours to charge and can run for about 500 miles.

That’s a remarkable comparison if true, 10 minutes of fuel to drive 2000 miles versus 10 hours of charging to drive 500 miles.

This is the fault of our education system. People are too damned dumb and brainwashed to realize you can’t roll 80,000 pounds of truck and cargo around this country on an effing electric truck and survive. Anyone that thinks we can has 💩 for brains. Period.

“EV market is dying”
No!
It was never born to begin with.
You just can’t legislate science and physics.
They exist and you must conform to them.
Politicians are only good at taxing, regulating,
and killing you.
They should stay out the real universe as it works differently than they want.

This is what you get when Leftist activists and lawyers try to legislate Physics. Legislating all trucks be EVs is akin to legislating Pi = 3.0, only more stupid. These people deserve to have to live under their laws.

Just to put some reality into this; The legislators noted that an average diesel truck can be refilled in about 10 minutes and can drive for about 2,000 miles.

Pull into a truck stop, pump 400 gallons of diesel, and be back on the road in 10 minutes? I don't think so.

Liberalism is a brain disease that infects the host and removes all rational thought. In some cases a severe series of bxtch slaps has been seen as positive.

Interesting when a state becomes so lopsidedly Dem that the Dem pols have to scramble for a shred of responsibility.

Doesn’t work in the long run, which is why states and cities likje NY occasionally need a restorative flush from even a RINO leader.

Is this right? Two Democrats say Hochul’s plan is unworkable?
