[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1822764, member: 35314"] California bans stuff all the time, and then pushes back the date because it was unrealistic to achieve...known all the time. I would be ok if with this move to EVs if it occurred naturally, rather than ram down our throats by the government. Things rarely go well when the government gets heavily involved in markets like this. The flaws with EVs are many. The financial and environmental costs of making them. The poor performance compared to ICE in many situations. The cost to replace batteries. The impact on an already poor performing electrical grid. And the reality that the EV you buy today will likely be significantly performance worse than EVs 5 years from now. 20+ years ago, I used to work in a government conservation department. We pushed rebates for better lightbulbs and AC units, encourage people to let their lawns grow wild, etc. Government has been doing this crap for decades with little to show for it. Let the market push things forward at the correct pace. EVs are selling just fine right now, and will continue to do so without government push, for those that want an EV. [/QUOTE]
