These people are freaking mental. Who will drive through their state, or spend money, rent a hotel room Etc? I wouldn’t spend it dime in the states
It’s 12 states trying to impose their will to ‘save the earth’ on the other 38 by fiat and by market strength.
Ironically, it’s a check that the earth can’t cash.
The problem is that California is already having a problem with the lack of TAX they are collecting on EVs.
They have sold so many EVs in CA that the amount of road tax is coming up way short of what they counted on.
So, now they are talking about adding a mileage tax in the state based on how much you drive. Which takes away the incentive of buying an EV. Even though EVs do more damage to the highway than a similar sized ICE automobile. This is because the extra 1000 pounds in the weight of an EV. They higher the percentage of EVs, the more damage to the highway system.
This article is worthless without a list of the other 11 states.
Did you see a list of states anywhere? I did not at the site. Nor what happens when they cannot meet their percentage goals...
What states? The excerpt doesn’t provide that info, and a quick glance at the MSN article is likewise devoid of the relevant information.
worthless article, who are the other 11?
All I can say is used car lots along the border of the peoples republic of Kali will bank
Suicide pact.
If feel like it’s time to buy some older car/truck that’s known to be easy to work on and buy a stock of likely parts needed for the next 20-25 years.

“12 states that are stuck on stupid”
Just wait until Biden is reinstalled. Our entire nation will be stuck on stupid. We will be hammered with rules leading to the lefts dystopian dreams.
The car dealers in Yuma, AZ, Reno and other on the state borders will have huge sales.
Apparently you will still be able to buy/sell used cars in CA. So why not buy car in Yuma, drove it to San Diego and sell as slightly used there?
Yes more tax payer money up in smoke.
<>“Seventeen states have historically followed California’s regulations, but so far only Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington have announced they’ll enforce the Advanced Clean Cars II rule and prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles.”
Absolutely, 12 states indeed stuck on stupid. It would be nice to know what those states are though. We know California, but what are the others?
Can the grid in those states handle all the EVs?
Some of the people pushing this are most likely true believers, but to the Deep State this is just a way to promote collapse.
Only rich people will have personal vehicles
But their political elites will still be driven around in caravans of gas powered SUVs.
Gas autos for me but not for thee.
It is NOT stupidity.
The people hiding behind their idiot frontmen are far from stupid.
This is evil.
Sheer, unadulterated evil.
Expect sales of gas cars to spike just before the regulations kick in.
With care, these days, a car can last a long time.
