Members of California’s Air Resources Board today questioned the practicalities of their staff’s proposal to ban gas-powered vehicles, raising concerns over challenges in buying and charging electric cars.

Air Board Chair Liane Randolph asked staff to find more strategies to ensure that the state’s proposed mandate includes strong equity measures so that low-income residents face fewer barriers buying electric cars.

Hey all of you illegals sneaking into California we are going to buy you a Tesla

Practicality? Cost? When did THAT become important? 😂🙌

[DaxtonBrown]

Reality is starting to stare them in the face. And it ain’t pretty.

[Leaning Right]

The charging problem has already been solved. It’s based on a simple premise developed by AOC, whom I believe has an advanced degree in electrical engineering. I’m surprised California doesn’t know about it.

CA just needs to support more Unicorn farms.

The animal’s excrement will charge electric vehicles!

[Don Corleone]

Damn! Reality strikes again. Sacramento will not notice it.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Beat me to it, realities are not part of what they do.

When will Citizen stand up and say enough? The intentionally raised fuel prices are strangling the middle and lower class. The laughable suggestion to buy an electric car, if there were any available, it’s pretty lame for middle and lower class who may already be paying car payments, who can’t afford a car payment, who are now being stripped of all funds for overpriced gas. Well the government offer a buyback program for gasoline powered cars?

Board members notice there is a reality outside?
They must be replaced immediately.

At least the most draconian laws in the nation have made the air over Los Angeles as pure as the driven snow! /sarc

Practically doesn't matter when the planet has to be saved. To hell with drivers and police departments and fire departments and ambulance and all emergencies; the planet comes first, therefore, deal with it, Californians (and those others going through the same insanity in other states/cities/communities.

[HighSierra5]

I’m done with these idiots.

Most cobalt mined in the DRC is used in laptops and cellphones.

Oh noooooooo???….the humanity…wait until the ev owners get their monthly road tax bill as self reported by their mobile electronic spy machine…

[BiglyCommentary]

I bet their real concern is if gas cars are banned, they’ll have abandoned being called CARB and be called BATTERY. Ha ha

[Dr. Zzyzx]

Well, if they DID question it, it didn’t appear in the first 20 paragraphs. Nowhere was it questioned where the electricity would come from. Maybe if they stopped smoking their brain-addling weed, the air pollution would drop by half. Idiots.
