EV alternative for light/medium duty trucks
So much wheel spinning on EVs, what if they are not the right path forward? The biggest problem with renewable power and EVs is storage, the second is storage, and the third is storage. Another pat...

That's OK, just read that Montana plans to BAN EV sales by 2035
Interesting. The choice of gas cars will be getting pretty slim by then. 3/4 and 1 ton trucks (and bigger) are not affected by any sales restriction so people will still be able to buy those. That and Toyotas I suppose, and Mazda if they are still around.
If they don’t install charging infrastructure tourism will be limited from outside the state. In 2035 gas stations will still be common thru out North America but they will be on the decline. So when people from there leave the state fueling will slowly become more of an issue.
It will be kinda cool though. Visiting there in 30 years will be like going to Cuba and seeing all the cool old cars. Nice. :)
Even after 2035, you'll still be able to buy gas cars from other states and register them in Cali. I should have added that Cali is the only state all in on 2035.
Yah could be. I’m not up on American legislation. That wouldn’t work here if the model was 2035 or later. But yah, that would work if it was 2034 or older. But anything over 8599 pound GVWR (or metric equivalent) has no restriction or end date. So as long as the SUV or Truck is over that there is no restriction. At least in this province. I’m not sure about our federal plans.
Like I say though, I doubt there will be many gas cars available by then.
