Can California handle moving toward electric-only vehicles? Regulators and companies say yes
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
California officials are moving ahead with a plan to start banning the sale of gas-powered cars in the next 13 years, but questions remain about how it will happen and if California is ready.

This will ultimately fail and it's all about control, controlled destruction of the USA and the power of the individual. Four EV stations just popped up in one of the local cities here in the Texas countryside which was quite shocking; all empty.

They don't intend to provide electric supply sufficient for general use by us Kulaks. They couldn't do it without major investment in nuclear plants and hydrocarbon drilling.
ReplyDeleteLights, air conditioning, water, food, and transport will be only for the favored of the dictators.
Those of us who survive the Great Reset will be screwed. Again.

I think the whole point of this excercise is force people to take public transportation. For the folly that is.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is that there isn't enough public transportation in California. There aren't enough trains, enough buses, or enough trolleys to meet the needs of the public. Most of the urban areas would need to be demolished and rebuilt in order to make mass transit work, at least in the Pyrite State. None of the cities are configured to make it work.
DeleteI recall reading an article that alleged a consortium (Standard Oil, Firestone etc.) bought up and then dismantled the passenger/light rail system in So Cal.
DeleteThis in an effort to sell more automobiles, gasoline and tires, as mass transit would no longer be available.
Note this region was once a significant producer of crude oil- derricks were everywhere.
N. Conclusive. I remember that as well, but read it was GM, accused of buying up privately owned urban transit companies and running them into the ground. Supposedly, they were taken to court over it, and paid a $5000 fine sometime in the late 40's.
DeleteThen, there was the city planner in New York who had a habit of putting low bridges on certain roads, which prevented bus through traffic, preventing public transit in those areas.
A later update on that story stated it was to keep heavy users of public transit, a certain, ahem, demographic, from easily accessing those areas of the city(parks, recreational facilities, etc.).
They'll just make sure they have plenty of gas and diesel fueled generators around to charge all those EVs. Problem solved!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the Beaners create low-rider Teslas
ReplyDeleteBy 2035 California will have plenty of electricity generation capacity to be able to charge all the newly mandated EVs. The reason is simple. In the next 13 years another 13 million people will have left the state.
ReplyDeleteThe two main factors that will cause the EV "transformation" to fail are
ReplyDelete1. The grid can't handle the increased load without major upgrades, and
2. There isn't enough generating capacity to supply the increased demand.
The people pushing EVs are the same people making sure that 1 and 2 can't be solved.
California hasn't built any power plants or water storage since Reagan was Governor; I doubt very seriously they'll build any in the next twelve years.
DeleteThe reason there are so many clunkers on the road is that many people can't afford 50-60,000 dollar vehicles.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can afford one. But buying a new rig means having to give the state at least $4000 in use tax and a minimum of $1000 a year in annual registration fees so they can piss it away on illegals and abortions for all. No thanks.
