All gas-powered сars are banned in California

[Vincenze]

No. Are banned implies currently. Writing new ones to ve would be correct.

Well, the law is signed already.

It shall be a goal of the State that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks will be zero-emission by 2035.

It probably means that 50% of sales of a car manufacturer must be electric in 2030, etc.

[Vincenze]

Reading comprehension?

I'm sure the governor will address that issue too. A 30-year-old vehicle shouldn't pollute clean air in California.

By then E30s will go in the same direction as many other classic cars have, in that people will buy them to be seen in them (and yes they will have non-vanity reasons as to why they picked an E30 but there's a reason the term "headturner" exists in the classic car world). Many of those buyers do not want to put up with all of the headaches of an ICE (esp a 30+ year old one) like doing fluid changes, worrying about whether it will start up or overheat, dealing with leaking hoses and gaskets, etc. They just want a nice-looking classic car that will be able to get some attention and compliments from other people that can also be reliable as daily transportation (provided the buyers aren't overly worried about safety).

A nicely restored classic car is rarely driven daily.

You drive your classic car once a month, and one day you notice that the battery is dead. It's not your $100 battery, it's the $10,000 battery.

Executive orders are not exactly laws, but are supposed to be more like directives that an executive intends for the legislature to codify. Thus far I haven't seen any info on tiered or rolling goals in passenger vehicle sales from this order.

I'm sure the governor will address that issue too. A 30-year-old vehicle shouldn't pollute clean air in California.

Okay, they'll only pollute the dirty air.

I want to know where all the electricity to charge all these new electric cars is going to come from.

The same place CA will get water in future.

No, just no.

FACT. the M42 WAS the pinnacle

The ocean?

No, B37C15U0.

No, almonds, duh.

Wait, California has electric almonds now ?

EV’s pollute, you just don’t see it. Power plants, processing and mining for the batteries.

Im sure some big dog has their hands in the governments pockets like the big 3 has for the last 75 years and follow the money to the real agenda. Automated 5G is on its way.

[roguetoaster]

When is this law gonna be effective?

About the same time as CA is either totally consumed by fire, falls in to the ocean, or is completely desertified or the year of our robot overlords, 2035, or in the 24th century when a mostly bald Englishman portrays a Frenchman in command of the fleet flagship. All are good answers.

The carbon footprint during manufacturing doesn’t count, you know that.

Maybe if folks had their own coal fired power plant chugging away in their backyard as their “non emission” vehicle was charging they would see it differently. That 50amp outlet in your house doesn’t eat for free !

California struggles to keep the power on in summer, let alone charge what could be millions of new EVs on the road...
