California is set to move closer to banning the sale of new cars running only on gasoline by 2035, a major step in the car-loving state’s fight against climate change. The expected embrace of the policy by the state’s Air Resources Board during a meeting scheduled for Thursday comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) set a target in 2020 for cleaning up California’s auto fleet. The proposed regulation would set strict deadlines for meeting that goal, forcing automakers to step up production of cleaner vehicles considerably, starting in 2026. The requirements would only speed forward from there, until only zero-emission

It's not about buying an electric car. They don't intend to have the grid needed to charge all the replacement cars. It is about not having any car at all. Not having the freedom of personal mobility.

I won't buy their BS cars. Thinking hard about purchasing a good used engine and transmission for my current Honda Accord and preserving it for possible future use.
And Kansas is FAR away and far removed from the insanity of Commifornia.

The exodus will continue. The only vehicles left in CA will the millions of bicycles used by the illegals. LA will look like Calcutta with those swarms of bikes. Then the only ones left in the state along with the illegals will be the super wealthy in their guarded compounds driving $100,000 EVs.

Hmm...funny. That is also what the Bank of Australia is requiring by 2035 as well by when cars loans will be approved for only e-cars. How is that going down, Aussies? How do we stop this e-crowd non-sense before it spreads to Amerika. Most of us prefer to travel when we want, how we want, and where we want. Got it, greenies?
The solution to all this? Fossil-fueled, electric-powered, and hydrogen-powered cars - all at the same time. And greenies, planet earth, your monolith, is happy. Let that sink in for a minute, greenies.

They can only consider doing this because it is a one party state.
And they think that no matter what they do,
it will never become a two party state.
People are often wrong about a great many things...

That's one way to depopulate the state. The only people who can afford electric cars are people who have them as second or third cars. The working poor can't. What will the Pelosis and their friends do when they can't get pool boys, maids, nannies, or people to pick their grapes in Napa?

The US will be like Cuba. We will be driving 50 year old cars held together with bailing wire and duct tape.

The amount of raw minerals needed for the batteries, disposal of batteries, the child labour to mine these minerals, the lack of safety and controls over these mining operations, the amount of electricity that will be consumed on top of what it is already being used for, and driving in natural disasters and recharging your car when the electrical grid is down vs having a couple of cans of gas. Yea, it all makes sense.

I hope California finds a way to double its output of electricity by then or there are going to be many people living in the dark and sweating when the temperature rises. Don't underestimate the power of duct tape.

Funny #9 but no one in the mainstream media talks about this at all. Gavin is virtual signaling. I don't think he has a clue.

It is looking like the whole populations of California, Mexico, and S. America are moving to Texas.

Not to worry. By 2035, half of California--the worst half--will be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Remember the big earthquake faults up and down the coast? Blamo!

Look for an opportunity to buy a car dealership in Nevada-they are going to do very well in 2035.

To #15. Great comment, but what if the state of California bans any gas powered cars from entering the state in 2036.

Note to Californians: Start hoarding your candles now! There will not be enough electricity to implement this. Get used to living in the dark.

This is going to be an absolute logistic nightmare. What about all these diesel truckers having make deliveries into the state if gas-driven vehicles are banned? What about all those diesel-powered locomotives having to haul 3-mile loads?

You can dream of owning 50 y/o cars like Cuba, but if the Fed shuts down all gasoline production you will be SOL. Domestic terrorism will be the result.

What #13 predicts is daydream stuff for stoners, not realism. The land west of the San Andreas isn't falling into the ocean (even if some sea cliffs periodically slide from beach erosion). The Pacific Plate, carrying the California coast south of San Francisco, is sliding north-northwestward, such that the land on which L.A. sits will eventually sit directly between S.F. and the ocean. Harebrained Liberal "progress" will destroy California long before the geology does, though.

Next will be non renewal of vehicle registrations for gas powered vehicles or a special insurance surcharge for them. Also look for a new higher gas/diesel tax to help "encourage" the use of electric cars. Wait until the first mass evacuation traffic jams where the electric cars run out of charge and people are stuck in the quickly approaching wildfires.

And the economy of the state will come to a screeching halt.
