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.

- 3yr old news?!?!?
WA St has put the same goal on the books too. No idea if it will succeed....instead of gas, it will be LP, diesel, alchohol, or equal. - Just buy out of state.
- Side note: As of 2025 banks in Australia will no longer write loans on new gasoline powered vehicles. Makes you wonder how a country that sometimes struggles to meet normal electric needs will handle an almost instant influx of electric vehicles.
- Revise your five year plan every year.
- Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't. It's all to be seen. I don't have a desire to own an EV, but not worried about this maybe happening.
Mark - Politicians are notorious for jumping on a bandwagon, and then when no one is looking, quietly jumping right back off. None of those laws are carved in stone, and can easily be changed, amended, rewritten, redrafted, reneged on, revised, and, if necessary, completely ignored. Politics, pure and simple.
- Just what other States like Idaho need.... another reason for Californians to leave Cali to jack up other States.
- "Despite the rush toward an all-electric future, little credence has been given to what will fuel the new technology. With the prominence of the electric fuel cell dawning on the horizon, California still needs a way to power the vehicles. Wind energy appears insufficient, leaving fossil fuels or nuclear power as the last remaining energy sources, both of which the has opposed."

Even today most EV owners still own a gasser. Also thieves in Reno are cutting EV charge cables to sell to recycle dealers. One charging company said it cost $1300.00 to repair and have a long wait for replacement. Big uptick in cable vandalism in Reno lately. Tesla chargers are at the Casinos under security guard and surveillance protection. Some commentators not visible to me. - California banned common sense long ago.
This foolishness is expected to be the model for a national mandate dictated by the EPA sometime next year if the current mismanagement remains in place. MARKW8 wrote:
Yes, will be interesting to watch. Maybe the anti-EV folks will come up with some other alternative.:h
