I’m curious if he saw Tesla’s presentation and feels that such a mandate is within the realm of possibility, but it seems very ambitious, especially considering the economic hit the automobile market took this year. I wonder if many Californians will seek a car purchase out-of-state too or just buy used cars as long as they can. Perhaps the case for the electric car will be so compelling that public interest will be there and prices will be more affordable. Utilities better get moving on building the electric infrastructure too.
I’m sure this won’t completely stick.

It's a executive order, which can be struck down by the swipe of a pen at a later time. Doesn't carry a lot of weight frankly given the timeframe.

I often wonder if these timelines are realistic or just thrown out there because "CLIMATE EMERGENCY!!!! WE MUST ACT NOW NOW NOW!!!"
theres just way too much pandering to the whiny activists who dont have any clue how to fix a problem realistically. |

Guess who has stock in tesla?
It's all about the money and who's pockets it lands on. I can smell the bullshit from here. Wild fires, oh please two major faults are over zealous environmentalists that would never cut a single tree, and asshole land owners that gate access roads, and sue anyone that tries to clear brush. Then other is just stupid people doing stupid stuff. That's my 2 cents/opinion

Most manufacturers already make electric cars; they just add ICEs to them and call them hybrids, so it is entirely possible to do. The big problem is infrastructure, but it is possible to get it done within fifteen years. This is only for new vehicles. This likely won’t stop out of state sales right now unless something changes that penalizes that act. Climate change is real. This transition is inevitable, even if it sucks.

He won't be Gov much longer so this is a empty threat and bill. The power grid can't even handle current load let alone the addition of all EV's. Unless all these vehicles are solar charged nothing environmentally is accomplished not to mention the impact the batteries have on a multitude of situations. Every day this moron just never ceases to amaze me.

Marketing grand standing, easy way around for enthusiasts, doesn't actually target the gross polluters in the state (large diesel shipping trucks and what few factories are left). Hopefully something more interesting comes along then this neo lib bullshit so it doesn't linger on here for ten pages of people who can't see past next week.
I'd vote for zero emissions from shipping companies in a heartbeat by 2035. That'd kill consumer ice far quicker, once EVs figure out the better battery and charging solution ice will be like horses, for enthusiasts only. |

As much as I like having fast cars that make pleasing noises, I like snowboarding more.

Interesting how the fires stopped at the Canadian border when they have close to 10x the forests we do.

Also, might be prudent to purchase stock in companies that produce extension cords. Gonna be a lot of these things running out apartment windows all over the state if this clown shoes idea comes to fruition. |

Batteries should be much more efficiently made and recycled too.
