Seven States to Ban the Sale of Gas Powered Cars in 2035

Just media fodder from the politicians.

We just discussed this topic in a very recent post in the previous week. Stirring the pot dude??? Anyway, not going to happen.

There are viable alternatives to all electric now and coming. One of course is hybrids as mentioned. One gaining traction is eFuels made from captured co2 and water, then there’s Hydrogen.

I’ve been thinking about the Wrangler 4Xe. For my at home needs it would be fine for my normal daily activities in regards to electric only miles. I can charge it at home. As a toad, not so much due to weight. At over 5k lbs not viable with my gasser mh.

Give the auto companies lawyers a few minutes, I’ll bet there will be a spate of new ‘hybrids’ that fit the legal definition but act a lot like a traditional ICE.

The ballot box can change everything. And unless those states come up with the money to improve infrastructure before then, I'm guessing people will vote to have lights and heat in their homes over electric cars.
Mandating things to Americans is just simply not going to work. If you want Americans to accept something new you need to make it better and affordable. As the EV's get better they will become more popular provided the energy is there to support them.

My vote is to promote the hybrid vehicles as you get the best of both worlds. Cheap local travel without the fear of going dead on the road when on a long trip.

12 years? By then the demand for new ICE cars might be so small you have trouble buying anywhere.

Upcoming ban might force upgrades on the grid.
