California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars by 2035
Like the title says "California to ban the sales of new gasoline cars by 2035". I can see it now all those used cars being hauled to Mexico will now be hauled to California.

So these electric cars have a range of around 400 miles. I just drove 500 miles from Tucson to Newport Beach in 8 hours. How long would this same trip be in an electric car, considering the time to charge the battery? Would I have to spend the night somewhere enroute?
No. Add 20 minutes to 30 minutes for charging. And if you do that while you are using the facilities or grabbing a sandwich it takes no extra time.
We do 800 kilometre trips. Takes us the same amount of time it did in our Jeep Grand Cherokee. But we typically stop every few hundred kilometres to pee and grab a coffee or something to eat, and whenever we are stopped we are charging. If you are the type to do 800 kilometres at a shot then you should count on a 20 to 30 minute charge stop. Or longer depending on the car. Conditions etc.- Just glad I own 3 generators so at least my lights will be on.
Also feel bad for those that live in apartments or rent where charging ports will not be provided.
2034 will have record car sales I bet ?? azdryheat wrote:

Not sure where you're getting the 400 mile range ... I'll admit, depends on vehicles batter bank, like how big the fuel tank is. Older sisters BMW is around 175 Mile's in DC, another 75 or so Mile's using the her words, motor cycle engine to sorta kind recharge the batteries before running out of gas.
Then again, this particular vehicle may be designed for local use only, vs some having a longer range ability.
We're too soon IMHO to say electric has come into a real usable reality for most of us. BMW is working fantastic for sister. Me, it would be useless!

In other threads, how many people say that the grid can't keep up with the demand, then when a solution to the problem of energy storage says they have a plan to use EV's to sell back to the grid when there is high energy demand, you say it's ridiculous? Really? Its brilliant.

The group benefiting the most is the power distribution companies, like Duke Energy - buying low, selling high!!
It’s a thirty year transition. Lots of time for utilities to adapt. That’s about 1 percent per year of added capacity. Those that don’t will just go out of business and new micro utilities will step up to the plate.Grit dog wrote:

….In Portland, if your not riding your bike, you are killing the trees...- About as dumb and unproductive as filling your car with gas at one station and driving down the road and siphoning the gas out and selling it back to a different station.
Think about it.
