Electric cars are great. So is Pepto Bismol. But please, please, don't stick it down my throat until I'm asking for it.

That's great but kind of speaks to the lack of planning by this state.

I used to drive a Prius to save on commuting. I wouldn't wish that garbage on anyone...now I stick to real cars.

And, plenty of time to buy a pickup truck, Sprinter or other cargo van, since this applies only to passenger vehicles.

That’s it. I’m leaving California. I’ll come back to this forum in 2035 to mock all of you that stayed.

Why can't he start by fixing public electric transportation in California?

Every other time I use a subway, there is a stinky homeless who slept among trash an hour ago and now sleeps on train seats.
I imagine it's completely different in Tokyo where everybody uses subways.

Nope. That's incorrect.

It's all inclusive. Medium duty, heavy duty and off-highway equipment.
Read the E/O.


Show me a comparable electric grader, scraper or dozer to any of the diesel powered ones we currently use.
