The icing on the cake is their already inadequate electrical grid will cause mass rationing of electricity for EV's!
We also had great news today that Lee Zelden has rolled back derating of diesels that run out of DEF! I suspect DEF and SCR's are on their way of being eliminated altogether. After all, more than 90% of diesel pollution was eliminated between 1992 and 2008! |
To be clear, California is not banning ICE vehicles, just the sale of new ones. 100% takes affect in 2035 with a graduated % from now until then (35%by next year and 68% by 2030.
I do hope you are wrong for two reasons. First, regardless of your position on climate change, we are still making this a less clean place to live and I hope we all agree the earth is finite. 2nd, the next Democrat will just undo all of this effing up our industry.
EVs are simply a method of propulsion. Period. Take away the “you can’t tell me what today do” and they are really a no brainer when you can charge at home. Sadly a method of propulsion has actually been politicized so we don’t talk about how they drive or perform (both great by the way) and for me it’s just that, a technology discussion.
