Electric cars the trick that traps them at home
These guys know how to power an Electric car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJytvfaczvY
CA makes illegal the sale of gas-powered cars in 2035. They do not have an infrastructure that can remotely support the needed charging stations.
They will be panicking in 2034, and rushing to build charging stations (and that’ll have to be financed by the state because there won’t be any revenue coming in for a year or so).
Also, Californians, get ready to pay exorbitant fees for charging. And you’ll have little choice of where to go.
Interstate trucks will avoid CA because there will be few gas/diesel stations, and they will charge a lot.
It’s going to be a disaster as can be expected every time you let the government manage something.
If you buy an electric car you SHOULD BE REQUIRED to recharge it using ONLY by using wind, solar or hydro electric means. You want to buy one of those cars, get a tax break because with that purchase, all while telling the world that you’re doing your part to save the planet, then go the Full Monty.
No recharging using coal, natural gas or nuclear.
What did californians use to light their homes before candles?
Electricity.
“Turn off unnecessary lights”
I don’t mean to hijack, but about 2 years ago, I finally gave LED lights a try at home. I use almost exclusively the “lower” temperature ones, reserving the retina-melting “blue” lights for the garage.
Since then, I have shifted almost completely to LED. In several lamps I use a Y-splitter to improve light levels to match previous levels. At about 10% the power, my electric bill clearly shows the difference.
But I note that I still have the habit of running around turning off lights, even though it doesn’t really save me anything at all, any more.
CA wants to BAN gas/diesel cars and trucks. A standard range Tesla requires about 50kwh to charge. That would more than double most home’s power consumption. That’s just ONE car. Make it 2 cars and the problem gets worse. CA also wants you to get rid of gas appliances, so electric oven, electric water heater, electric clothes dryer, etc. And we can’t build new power plants here. And we are trying to close down our Nuclear Power Plants. Lastly, the enviroweenies want to tear down our dams, getting rid of hydroelectric power (and water storage). Maybe we can run a big extension cord to China. Hell, everything else is made there.
LOLOLLOLOL
Wait till the number of these electric car appliances triple in numbers. It will choke off the grid in CA.
I wonder what percentage of households in America own ONLY electric cars. An ICE car could be rented for convenience on long trips.
RE: Wind power. There was an article about wind power and that to provide just LA with electricity you’d need a wind farm the size of Arizona.

What you see in this video is an electric car at a charging station with a shorting cell setting off all the rest
The fire cannot be extinguished with water
No recycling place will take the car’s remains because of the toxic chemicals the batteries contain

Oops! Our bad! You can’t charge that vehicle to save the
planet, due to a higher need to save the state.
Change the name of the state to Caliphonyia and be done with it.
my first thought of the article, damned democrats
I still don’t understand how the electric car manufacturers haven’t designed a generator that’s able to recharge the batteries as the car drives.
We can recharge the battery on a gas-powered vehicle but not an electric one.
One other thing, why would we destroy a fully working industry for unreliable ones such as solar and wind.
Obviously they are non-essential.
Batteries self-discharge after they are charged. Last year I put gas in my tank in early March, and didn’t drive anywhere for several weeks. The tank was as full as before. The batteries in my camera lose their charge slowly over a period of several weeks. If you charge your car batteries and then don’t use your car, they will have lost part of their charge. Electrical engineers please supply the details.
In addition, batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, and can only be charged to a percent of the capacity they had when they were new. An old smartphone of mine wouldn’t hold its charge any more, no matter how long I left it charging. Replaced the battery and will watch the cycle play out again. With an electric car your batteries will become dead weight, and you’ll have to replace them for big bucks.
The cost of replacement, the lost power, the cost of building charging stations, and the subsidies must all be factored into the equation.
and what happens when all the Government vehicles are Electric ,oops little people you’re on your own
No problem. Attach a sail to the roof of the car and hope it’s a windy day.😉
