FL ports will supplant CA shithole EV ports.
They want train locomotives to not run on diesel fuel, too.
These people are insane.
Things will be getting so bad people will migrate out of the state on.foot if necessary...kind of like Mexico. 😕
The people of California will have left the state or starved to death by 2046
Or more likely the law will have been repealed by a more sensible government.
It wasn’t enough putting particulate filters on trucks and catalytic converters to reduce NOx. Noooo….soon thereafter it is ban, ban, ban. It’s the one-party State way. Who cares about technical and economic feasibility? That’s for nerds.
2036 and 2042? It really doesn’t matter, because California will probably be part of Greater China or Greater Mexico by then. New laws will be in place. And you can bet those new laws won’t be green.
(just kidding, maybe)
These carriers need to just quietly pull their freight from CA. Don't give reasons why, don't complain, just say you will no longer do business in California moving forward.

The oil companies would have every right in the world to shut down operations in the hostile state of Commiefornia!
We need a term for “mass societal suicide”.
Idiots on parade.
Glad I left California, I went to university there. Beautiful, but it is now deadly. They are committing suicide.
The mandates are ridiculous. It took decades to transition from the horse and buggy to automobiles. And there is zero or near zero productivity improvement - it may actually reduce productivity. A diesel truck and an electric truck both move loads from point A to point B. The diesel you can fill up in existing infrastructure. The electric, you need to build out new infrastructure. You need manufacturers to build the trucks. You need charging stations, and power plants to generate the electricity, and a hell of a lot more wires.
I am ambivalent on the question - if people want electric, go for it. But the markets have to make it happen. Mandating it like some genie is going to magically generate tons of new electricity and build the charging network is just foolishness.
“Heavy-duty trucks represent nearly one third of the state’s nitrogen oxide and more than one quarter of its fine particle pollution from diesel fuel...”
So what?
Playing make believe is easier then handling the real problems in front of you.
Clown state.
You’d think a law requiring trucks to be electric would include a performance requirement on the required electric trucks.
But I’m wasting your and my time. That ban will never occur.
The Ports of Savanah - Charleston - Houston and Jacksonville are celebrating ! Was at a trade conference last week - California Ports are losing a lot of business to the East Coast Ports
Bowing to extreme pressure from muslim groups, California bans anything made since 700 AD.
