CA to go all EV by 2035

sad but true.

i can say that san onofre nuclear plant was closed for no reason other than jerry brown hated nuclear power. I have some inside baseball info, there was nothing wrong with the plant. Truly sad sad sad

 

I think going to an electric vehicle for a daily driver makes more and more sense as time passes - at least for someone that lives in Southern California, where the sun shines over 300 days out of the year. Pricing for solar panels has and will continue to drop dramatically, and advances in battery technology and the multitude of charging stations have practically eliminated range anxiety.

However, I don't think these arbitrary deadlines make much sense. Why even assign a date like 2035? But it will happen eventually if it makes financial sense to those who can utilize solar power.

In the meantime, 10 mpg baby!

 

I want to see an environmental study done on the impact of mining for lithium and disposing of the batteries. I get that fossil fuels lead to green house gasses, but the lack of ground disturbance needs to be compared to that of mining to truly see what is best for the environment. I’d take well and pipeline over a 3 mile wide crater

 

I suggest moving...

But as the saying goes "don't california my texas."

You will get the same result, for some reason "smart" ppl don't get it.

 

Hahhaa I know I have 2 friends who live there plates will be changed long before. I get it tho I would be in the same place as them

 

this is a very good point. The reality is that uber greenies don’t Know or care, the those mines are dug in poor countries and no media takes pictures of it

 

Yup I haven’t fit in for years. Stuck due to a pension but I’m sure they will take that next so why stay at this point.

 

I don't really have any opinions on this other than to say change is inevitable. Oil is a finite resource. How long it will last I have no idea. I would not be surprised if vehicles are almost exclusively electric by the time I leave this world(I'm 32). I suspect that the change might happen rapidly once the technology improves.

 

Sounds like 2034 would be a great time to build a dealership just across the border from CA. "Dino Burning Black Market Auto Sales".

 

Yah I’ve seen that and I work outside for a living Hahahha we’re just to conservative to be here anymore the news laws being past and the taxes just not our cup of tea. Just 3 arches I would do Idaho but to many cali people are moving there so like Texas that should be ruined soon.

 

That is actually my plan. I have solar to power myself during the day and NG generator as a backup

 

Omg! That’s hilarious!!

 

I wish it was 4.5 cents per KWH.
I am in Bakersfield, CA and my current rate is tier 1: 24c per/kwh Tier 2: 32c per/kwh and tier 3: 50c per/kwh.

My average is around 28c per/kwh and using the AC very conservatively.

As for net metering... when I go solar, I will try and produce as much as possible during peak hours to consume during the night. I should never have to pay PGE again.

 

So states that border California will have new car dealerships right on the border.


Is electric the future of vehicles, yes. Is it the near future, NOPE.

 

electric vehicles will likely be the future when battery technology hits the next level. Is oil finite? Yes, but the supply is nowhere near out. Think of how expensive oil has to get to make electric a cheaper option? 6 months ago oil was too cheap....

ca will have a hard time fighting interstate commerce. They will probably do what Georgia does and charge sales tax on imported vehicles from other states. I don’t see how they could block registration from people bringing a car in. But lets be honest, if any of us still live here by 2035 we need a mental exam

 

CA is crazy. The state might be powerful and rich in many ways, but their offended hipster bullpoop is getting out of hand. Don't get me wrong, someone has to exaggerate so those following the example can make it better without the attitude. EV's are the future but 15 years is an insane time window for an overhaul, I doubt CA's electric grid can handle the load as it is, so how long would it take to renovate it? cost of said renovation?

Until battery technologies can double or triple the capacity, IMHO they're not worth it. $0.02

Who thinks CA will still be a state in 2035??????

 

So much for sweet stereos in cars..

I wonder what they factor as the average wattage usage per driver

2035 rolls around; call up tech12volts!

 

2034 MY gas and diesel illegal 1 year later.

 

You think they won't ban the new registration of gas powered cars that were purchased after the EV change goes into effect?

They won't hold this date, it's just about pushing the industry towards electrical solutions faster.
