I assume these laws are written by young urbanites who never venture far from pavement. It's amazing how someone can think their way of life needs to imposed on everyone else even though they don't understand other people's way of life.
I know plenty of people who drive their trucks to their off grid hunting camp, ride around in the mountains all week, etc. Where exactly are they going to recharge? Logging companies, farmers, ranchers, excavators, etc. all regularly operate motor vehicles, particularly 1500 trucks, in very remote areas with no electrical infrastructure for long periods of time.
This will likely drive 1500 truck buyers to 2500 and larger trucks making them even more expensive for us working stiffs who need them to make a living, not just cruise around town looking cool.
What do you mean no charging station- All those outlying vehicles will have a built in gas generator to charge batteries, and a build in gas tank to run it. No problem :) :) Just find a gas station to fill your generator tank so you can charge your EV and drive it.
Fun aside, as we work towards that technology, we also need to understand it's not an over night shift. And we must first perfect the charging ability and more importantly, the root source of that energy. Otherwise, we're just spinning our wheels, literally.
