Exactly. Banning ICE vehicles gets front page news. Postponing or overturning that will be on page 30 and no one will talk about it.
Cold Weather And EV's

Yes exactly. Governors come and go and changes in the affiliation occur on a routine bases.
Then Id probably not byy an ev, to be blunt.
Wish my home had solar whan I bought it. Best deal in town!
And if installed in a housing tract assembly line style, the incremental cost would be minimal, right?
Easy. Drive is 23hrs/1500 miles. Start with fully charged Tesla 3 which has about 300+ range.
You get 6-7 stops for 15 mins at Tesla supercharger to gain 200 miles of range and break. That is about 2hrs of charging leaving another 5 hours of cushion……
Coworker went in his BMW i4 from Montreal to Halifax (not crossing into US) in 15-20F weather . The chargers varied in output however at no time he turned off heat while waiting / sleeping to pass time on this 800 mile trip. He stated it took an extra 4 hrs due cruddy charging options as he went rural . He did work from car .
Yes. I have a plastic grocery bag of plastic grocery bags that I plan on using as small trash can liners. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Soon we'll be traveling 1000 miles in 15 hrs between our homes in a large SUV that can carry large cargo items and/or tow a trailer. We do this 10-12 times a year, year after year. No EV in our future.
You're forgetting we're talking about California. When is the last time you saw a political about face pulled off in that state? Hell, they reelected the same governor they just recalled.
Ive had a few people chat. They mainly compliment, ask how long it takes to charge, etc. Polite and curious.
We can’t talk about politics but I mentioned change of affiliation. Last one was 2010.
Those ICE dates will stand. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they advanced them as time marches on. If that states history proves anything, it proves that. You're talking about wishful thinking that is never going to materialize.
Always something is wrong with ev
I really like how the sodium-ion battery tech is evolving. I feel all the current EV's with the lithium batteries will be dinosaurs when the sodium battery makes it's way into EV's...kinda like what the lithium did to the NiCd, and NiMh.
This looks promising to deal with the buildup of sodium at desalination plants which is what California needs.

Why are so into CA ? You don’t live there. I don’t get why people get so wound up about something they cannot change or has nothing to do with them.
It's not a question of, "getting wound up". It's a direct reality. If you don't want to face the facts of it, along with how they are the driving force behind the bulk of this type of EV mandate crap, that's fine.
But that doesn't mean others aren't concerned about the very real possibility of having something forced upon them they don't want any part of. And California leads the way in that department. With all of this green crap. Along with many other things.
Be it solar panels, or EV's, the government should stay the hell out of it.... Period. Other states are following suit. And the fact of the matter is people don't like it. This has nothing to do with, "hating EV's". But rather having something forced upon them they do not want.
California has taken the approach of pushing something on the public, instead of allowing the free market to operate as it should. And living there or not, it will have repercussions nationwide for the rest of the country. Regardless if you want to believe it or not. Or care or not. This type of complete nonsense is borderless when it comes to the negative effect it produces.
EDIT: The fact I have to explain any of this to you tells me a lot.

I agree. I follow CA because the nonsense that occurs there is either going on here or is soon to come. The only difference here is the EV isn't taking off as quickly. I think people in my area realize climate, traffic, and the antiquated grid is not conducive to the EV yet. Sad to see what CA, MA, and NY to name a few turned into. I also have a feeling the ICE is going to be around longer than the powers that be think.
Ok. We’ll see how it goes.
Okay so what are you going to do about except raise your blood pressure and vote locally and federally?
For me. INstead drove my to ski home this week/weekend and enjoyed that. Back to work next week in an interesting IT job that pay and “title” turned into 50% pay increase. Some work due to EV push.
I just go with the flow. Life is really good if you want it to be. Also shutting off your TV with CNN, Fox extremism helps.
