The war on gas-powered vehicles continues.
While the White House recently released new rules to phase out gas-powered vehicles by 2032, several states have gone further.
Eight states plan to completely ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported. Who’s leading the charge, you might ask?
Why, it’s California, of course!
They are joined by Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington. Washington, D.C., has also committed to the ban, according to Money.
If you live in one of these states, you won’t be forced to take your gas-powered car off the road and can still buy these automobiles used or secondhand.
But what does this mean for consumers in those states?
Electric vehicles already cost more to buy than gas-powered vehicles. And while the argument has repeatedly been made that charging can save consumers money over time, there are countless stories of charging nightmares: from homes catching fire, to broken charging stations, to long charging times, to power grids unable to support the charging infrastructure.
All of the above issues cost consumers more money and time, not to mention how much replacing a battery in an EV can cost.
Also, when looking at the manufacturing of these vehicles — the mining to produce the lithium-ion batteries, the factory production of the vehicles — pollution still exists, and it doesn’t seem to reduce much of anything. In fact, per Earth.org, “Almost 4 tonnes of CO2 are released during the production process of a single electric car and, in order to break even, the vehicle must be used for at least 8 years to offset the initial emissions by 0.5 tonnes of prevented emissions annually.”

Unless the states mandate the licensing to new EV's only.....
Complete Ban on Gas-Powered New Car Sales because the natural climate that has always changed is changing ,LOL

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Just like the growing list of politically correct global warming horror predictions that have proven false, the argument that EVs will save money over time has no basis in the actual numbers that we are seeing, is pure indoctrinated escapism imo.
This isn’t about banning gasoline cars.
They KNOW people can’t afford EVs so, out of the goodness of their hearts, the blue leaders will build out public transportation and force everyone to contract into 15 minute cities.
You will live where they tell you and you will be allowed to travel where they tell you and on their schedule.
In Maryland, any car over 20 years old can qualify for Historic Vehicle plates. Smog tests and pre-sale “safety”inspections are not required.
It’s amazing how many “historic” minivans I see.
Fake cures for a fake problem by politicians who had fake elections.
“...we’ll make is SO UNAFFORDABLE you won’t have a choice but do do so on your own.”
“Politicians should own EVs by law and maybe these idiots will see how bad they are“
I hear ya, but, essentially, WE are the ones who pay for their vehicles/transportation.
The rich will always be fine.. it’s US they’re trying to destroy.
The same leftist States also support tearing out Hydroelectric dams like Irongate and Copco dam in No. California! DUH

They might as well go straight to electric “Jetson” cars that fly.
These people have the intellect of CHILDREN. -“I wish it so!.. now MAKE it so!..”
It’s not honest. Their goal is to give us a “Hunger Games” type society to live in.
There are the rich/politically powerful ‘HAVES’ and the rest of us will be slaves - only enough of us allowed around in order to feed that pig.
Folks - their goal is 2030. Do NOT forget this!
Why do Sniffer’s voters assume heating is going to go on forever, instead of a cold spell coming?
Read all the objections on this page, all the objections in the media, and you won't find the number one objection to this abomination: IT IS PART OF THE NEW DICTATORSHIP!
Not one Congressional signature, not one endorsing input from 'We the People' -- a major change in the financial, cultural future of our country and not one bit of public input! We are accepting loss of our Constitutional Republic without even a whimper!
Is someone going to challenge this upheaval in SCOTUS? Not that I have yet heard. Sheep to the slaughter! ❌🌪🌪🌪⤵🚮
.
ATTENTION MIKE JOHNSON:
If you want my respect take a case to SCOTUS that Congress should have legislated such a major change in American life, not the Executive Branch alone❗❗❗💯
GOD SAVE THE REPUBLIC!🛐🛐🛐
Just mandate fusion reactors to be built and operating by mid next year.
‘Climate problem’ solved.
;p
Consumer choice should drive the market. Fine, provide ‘incentives’ but outright ‘banning’ shouldn’t be authorized. The technology isn’t ready and there’s no proof it’ll ‘save the planet’ either. The ‘carbon footprint’ is huge day 1.
There are two charging stations in my little city. Always empty and I make sure I park there every time I go to the store. Screw them.
Sounds like eight state governments that are too big for their britches, to me. AKA grossly exceeding their authority.
How is this even legal???
climate cr@p is one big hoax!
All about power!!
Mush brain types think Mother Earth is all but gone!
IDIOTS!
The people of Maine stopped this movement in its tracks, and are showing growing resistance to the Green Insanity.
