You must buy one but you can't charge it

(1/1)

TWCC_DJK5555:
This sounds like a joke.

Currently, only 1.6% of California's 30 million vehicles are electric.  1.6 percent, and the grid CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THAT!

It's been estimated that the State would have to add 17 Gigawatts of electricity to accommodate 30 million EVs, and if you seriously think that you can get those 17 GW with windmills and solar cells, you need to face reality.  For a state currently facing an energy crisis, this EV mandate is like pouring gasoline on an open fire so to speak.

Are the people running that state
A. Clueless
B. Stupid
or
C. Deliberately trying to destroy the fifth largest economy in the world

All this ''green'' or ''renewable'' energy can complement what we have now and REDUCE our usage of ''fossil fuels'', but they cannot REPLACE traditional energy sources.  Europe is currently finding this out the hard way.

These people are insane. What's worse, the Biden administration wants to bring that idea to the whole country. You can't just force people to adapt to a new technology. Especially one that isn't ready for the masses (in this case both the product and the infrastructure).

I recently heard, that within a very short time of people within California's government saying to buy an electric car, they were told that they should NOT be charging their cars! How the tables have turned. In the most ironic way possible.
