CA strikes again with ACT

[redbaron]

Someone else created this illustration, but it does a good job summarizing.

Now proponents will say “wind” and “solar”, yet both of those technologies are not effective during the night hours when most ev charging takes place. This is proved by a phenomenon known as “peak traffic times” which are generally 6am to 7pm. One can easily conclude that if the car is in traffic it is not charging.

Storing energy from wind and solar requires even more lithium mining. Lithium is much more expensive and destructive to mine than oil is to process.

There are emerging energy storage options but nothing that is marketable yet. Lithium is not a viable option for replacing ICE, and soon the mandates will either be extended to 2050 or removed altogether.

It seems to be the RV "automotive" industry, i.e. Newmar/Winnebago, and all of those affected need to be making the efforts, along with FL / SP. Good luck pushing that brick wall!

Edit:

Obviously this severely impacts dealers in the affected states. I was thinking if buyers are just going to purchase across state lines. Will they be able to register their new vehicle in their home/affected state?

Good morning,
Most states require a buyer to have a real physical address in the state they register in. That also goes for paying sales tax, registration and title fees. States know they miss out on sales tax money and other fees if a buyer just "picks" a favorable state.
Let us know how we can help.

As someone who recently fled California and all that goes with it, I see this stupidity as part of a bigger picture. I fly airplanes. CARB just declared a ban on airplane fuel by 2030.

There is now a full scale home owner insurance crisis in California, not because of the wildfires but because the citizens of California in 1988 passed a proposition forbidding insurance companies to raise rates more the 7% a year without California State approval. California is not approving higher annual rate increases.

So what has happened (finally) is that many big companies are finally saying F....k You California and leaving. State Farm and Allstate are no longer writing new policies in the state and slowly beginning to shed existing policies.

Now the chassis manufacturers for RV's are say good by to California. Along with Elon Musk with SpaceX and Tesla. Chevron just announce they are leaving.

Do you see a trend? Finally big companies are saying enough is enough. This is good news even with the disruption.

It is time to tell the State of California to get lost. As American citizens who don't live there we have only one big lever to pull. Like the big companies that are leaving our only lever is out pocket book. The rest of America needs to sent a message loud and clear to the state, since it appears those who vote in the state are hopeless.
