in addition to the California law the idiot governor got passed banning the sale of internal combustion engine powered cars, the scope of the zero emissions extends to trucks, and rvs too.

The news of California banning sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035, (the same year Social Security goes bankrupt) was triggered by the California Air Resources Board beginning the rulemaking process to implement the executive order signed by the California Governor, without regard for the logical resources of charging stations, electrical infrastructure of the state of California, the electrical generating capacity of the south west of the USA to power the charging stations during the expected heat waves, or car manufacturing to even produce electric vehicles in view of the battery raw materials needed. Additionally, the loss of gas tax to pay for road, highway, and interstate freeways when switching from gasoline powered vehicle to electric charged

The rules have a goal to phase in ever-increasing percentages of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) in the passenger car and light-duty truck markets with gross vehicle weights less than 8,500 pounds over the next dozen years in order to reach 100 percent ZEV by model year 2035. 

Medium-duty (8,501 to 14,00 pounds) and heavy-duty trucks (over 14,001 pounds) would not be subject to the same zero emission rules until 2045. 

So, at first only motorhomes or tow vehicles under 8,500 pounds would be impacted, such as some Class B motorhomes.

Other portions of the rule would impose stricter emission standards for passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2026. This portion of the rule would cover all vehicles, including motorhomes and tow vehicles, that weigh 14,000 pounds or less.

There are currently 17 states that have adopted California’s emissions requirements, known as Section 177 states: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. These states account for nearly 40 percent of all vehicle sales in the country. Already, Oregon and Washington have started the process of formally adopting the California ZEV requirement.

the rules envision a phase-in starting in model year 2026 and taking ten years to require only ZEVs being sold in the state. In 2026, 35 percent of new car and light-duty truck sales must be ZEV; by 2030, that will rise to 68 percent.

  1. California is also banning gas powered generators, so good luck charging your electric car at home when the grid is down, or rationed.

    1. yup, but only banning the sale of them in California. All we have to do to get one is make a trip to Vegas or Arizona. It really is only an inconvenience, not actually stopping their use, and all the ones already here will continue to be used. It's such political posturing, with so little actual effect on air pollution

  4. I have a point I would like to make: Search for the average american house power consumption. Now search for the average american milage per day. Compare to the average electric car power consumption. You will see that an electric car uses as much power as a house. So, owning an electric car DOUBLES your power consumption. Now a question: Is anyone aware of any new powerplant being built? So, based on that, I'd say that ICEs are safe for a loooong time. And californians are screwed.

  5. Good comments. Too much liberalism, crazy ideas that are all for personal profit.

    1. exactly my thought. Only rich people run for office, and they help their campaign donors. Newsome returned billions in contracts to his top 30 donors, it was in the news https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gavin-newsom-campaign-donors-received-billions-ca-state-contracts-investigation-finds

  6. You live in California Jesse, why do people keep voting for these fools?

    I'm sure you will find a way to belittle me for my post like you usually do.

    1. I have a bad memory, and can't recall what you've commented in the past, and can't recall my replies. I also have no simple way to look back at the comments of any one person.
      SO, since I don't know what has been said on your part, or mine, I don't carry a grudge, and handle each and every comment individually on it's own merit.
      I answer this one with no awareness of any other. That's a fact.
      To that, I answer: I have lived here in San Diego since 1995, and have learned that California is run in Sacramento, where nothing is similar to the vast population south of the 210 freeway.
      They run the state, they live in a forest, they have weather and seasons, and they are very democrat voting.
      South of the 210, in what everyone knows as So Cal, we have no seasons, just nice - or Hot! and we have no trees, and we have a lot of desert, and we are mostly republican.
      LA is business based, San Fran and Sacramento are university based.
      Anyway, the people that run for elected office are mostly Sacramento politicians, as you might see if you look up the Newsome vs Brown elections, and see it's been several generations of just those two families in the governors office.
      To get to the heart of the answer, there are simply more democrats and liberal left wingers in California, and mostly Democrats get elected to every office possible, including congress, senate, mayors, and city council.
      People don't vote for a candidate from another party, no more than a religious person goes to some synagogue or mosque or church they are not in the relgion of.
      Politics are religions, and religious people don't think for themselves, they follow, like sheep, behind their leader. The extremists in BLM and MAGA republicans demonstrate that as clearly as the 9-11 bombers
