California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars by 2035

[FishOnOne]

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.

We had a Volt once, loved it. I tried to buy the Cadillac but the earliest I could get in line is 2024. I have always had American cars and trucks but looks like I may go to VW for electric, time will tell.

;)There are a few here who tow with EVs but I don't think the rest of us will brag about our "carbon footprint."

Just saw in the news today that They are shutting down EV chargers in certain cities in China so they can have electric for the households. Just what do you think is going to happen when the Hoover dam stops making electric because there are too many people living off of that pool of water in the desert?

Excellent comment sir. Tell it like it is. I agree completely. Let the fur fly.

Scoobydoo I like your excuse for letting the other big polluting countries have free ride on continued global air pollution. I do not share your guilt complex of blaming America first for everything. And except for this forum I think most Americans would agree with me. Compared to the jet set crowd and some RVers my carbon footprint is very small indeed. I now fish and camp without the small TT. No hypocrite here bubba joe just the facts. Cheers

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.

That is a little misleading, one Aussie bank is said to have such a policy, however it was not one of the big banks, in fact I'd never heard of it.

This will never happen because our are spineless.

Of course the fact for all our lives, on average, per person, people in US have put out greenhouse gasses at highest rate in the world. We claim to be world leaders, maybe we should lead?

Many famous hypocrite persons advocating for harsh EPA standards against rest of us are themselves constantly flying everywhere in their private air polluting jets including JK and EM, movie stars and many others such as a recent 9 minute flight by private jet from San Jose to SF. There are thousands of them in USA alone criss crossing the country and everywhere.

While I can see your point, I don't think many on this site have much right to call others hypocrite. We want to enjoy nature, so take a house with us.

Maybe the thieves cutting the EV charger cables in Reno for sale to recycle dealers are also really climate greenies. Just saying.

Yes, will be interesting to watch. Maybe the anti-EV folks will come up with some other alternative.:h

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.

"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.

Just what other States like Idaho need.... another reason for Californians to leave Cali to jack up other States.
