    I doubt it. Still gotta drive on the roads. Fees probably will go way up. No fuel tax income, so they need to get the money from somewhere!

    If this is true, a few years before 2035, any ICE vehicle will be super expensive in California.

    The first purpose-built, drive-up gas station opened in 1913. At the time, there were approximately 500,000 vehicles navigating almost exclusively dirt or gravel roads. Today, there are more than 270 million vehicles traveling on the nation’s 3.94 million miles of paved roadways, with approximately 38 million vehicles fueling up every day.

    and if you HAVE to charge on a " FLEX ALERT DAY " it will cost you substantially more than on a normal day, this will be good for all the Californicators... hahaha.

    Well, before 9PM at any rate. Makes sense, though - those are the peak times. Overnight charging should still be low cost.

    They’ll make it home alright. All they have to do is stop by a gas station to fill up.

    Yep, and I hope the youth following a bit too close isn't distracted ... Gasoline has quite a bit of explosive force in the right scenario and that set up looks safe right???

    I'm in SoCal and I just don't see how it's possible to ban all new gas vehicle sales in 2035.... For the past couple of days I've been getting automated calls from the electric company asking me to help in conserving electricity... LOL I'm good...... I'll continue to blast my AC since it was just 95 and raining......

    very safe. Very nice mod though, modding to run on gasoline.

    Don’t just completely ban things. Have different options so the consumer can buy what they want.

    Not really though. These two events happened in the same state in close temporal proximity to one another and together they illustrate an important point. To date California has not invested in electrical generation such that it can handle a mass changeover to electric vehicles. It can’t even handle the load its grid has now.

    I actually like electric cars and hope they continue to improve, though I’m always opposed to government forcing people to use them. But California is the worst combination of environmental radicalism and techno Utopianism with an appetite to force the rest of the country to follow. If you won’t expand base load power with clean options like nuclear and fossils fuels are off the table, then when you couple new demand with erratic and variable wind and solar you get blackouts and brownouts. Simple as.

    Absolutely. Well said. If someone wants to drive an electric car, go ahead!! If someone wants to drive a hellcat, go right ahead!! People shouldn't be forced into vehicles that are no where nearly sustainable right now ESPECIALLY in California......
