So, lots of gas or diesel cars will be bought and sold in Calif long after this silly ban goes into effect, if it does.
Define "long after". All it takes is a new law to ban all gas powered cars. Just because THIS law does not do so, does not mean California won't pass such a law in the future.
For those of you who are against any sort of electric vehicles, you do realize that this has happened many times through history, right?
1. Engines replacing horse and buggies
2. Printing presses replacing scribes
3. Robots replacing factory workers
4. Diesel and electric trains replacing steam locomotives
I would imagine that within 20yr, the majority of passenger vehicles will be electric. As technology catches up, electric vehicles will become cheaper and become more efficient.
Think about cell phones from 20yr ago compared to today's phones.
Yes we all realize this. Technological progress can’t be stopped. But you do realize that there is blood and treasure waiting for the crooks that champion this. They (politicians) give two $#it’s about climate , they only see dollar signs and control at the end of this road.
I can't wait until electric cars and trucks are as practical as gasoline powered cars, but the government should not put a gun to our heads and make us buy the current crop of impractical and high priced EVs. We probably need a revolution in battery technology as well. A world full of used lithium batteries sounds physically and environmentally dangerous to me.
There is a lot I like about EVs. Boat loads of torque. Less moving parts. Far less maintenance. Quiet. No energy consumption when stopped. I am looking forward to when they finally become as practical as gas powered vehicles. They are not even close to that yet.
Yep, that’s what I resent about this. I’m not an EV “hater” but I don’t like that at some point, I’m going to more or less be forced to buy one even if they aren’t ready for prime time, because some Democrat decided that it would be a good idea to eliminate all of my other choices because climate change. Unfortunately, California has a strong influence on the rest of the country, since it’s a large market.
These people love what the right has to say. And the GOP is their vessel.
ok and... just because the right has some idiots that want to follow leftist ideology, doesn't change the fact that fascism is leftist...its a marxist idea
Excellent news for China. So much market share in the battery mineral mining industry. Great news for any foreign supplier of fossil fuels that are needed to produce the batteries for electric vehicles. it’s going to be a windfall for them once the rest of the country gets on the bandwagon.
Unlikely to be sustained. Batteries use lesser and lesser rare minerals and will continue to.
