Don't think they will have electric helicopters and airplanes by 2035 for police and putting out fires. Some cities already having problems with electric fire trucks and EVs. Los Angles has a whole parking lot of stored electric EVs not being used.
Born and raised in California. Escaped 10 years ago,. The electrical grid has been neglected for decades. We had rolling brown outs in SoCal 30 years ago. Eventually, when one section of the grid goes down, it draws from the grid next to it. The overtaxing demand with knock that grid out as well. The entire country will go down like dominoes and be without juice (except Texas). None of our infrastructure has been maintained for decades. Bridges, dams, water systems. We’ll be in worse shape than a third world country soon. Why do you think the elites own mansions on islands outside the US?
They need to stop raining on the dems virtue signaling for votes with things like the truth. Building the infrastructure that can handle it would take way too long and cost so much that they wouldn't be able to put as much of the money the government gives them into their Swiss accounts.
This is preposterous
Residents of California voted for this now they have to live with those consequences.
California uses around 280,000 gigawatts of electricity each year. If they forced everyone to go to electric vehicles they would have to produce and use over 100,000 gigawatts more of electricity each year. Their infrastructure is decades away from being able to handle that much consumption. They need to pump the brakes and stop trying to force these things.
Think about it, go green, don't produce electricity, remove all vehicles from the highways. Great plan
As with any project you start with the foundation first in this case it would be all new infrastructure powerlines charging stations all of those things should be taken care of and in place before there is any requirement to go to an electric vehicle not the other way around what California is doing is they’re building a house and they’re starting with the roof and they’re finding that they can’t nail the shingles to anything
CA is just a mistake and not part of the US, and anyone living there are just IDIOTS!
Haha
Newsom talking out of his butt hole again.
I have worked in the energy field on energy conservation and power plant construction projects as well the environmental and water system management fields for over 30 years. The Governor and lawmakers in California live in a dream world. They make these feel good laws and proclamations that ignore the feasibility based on science and engineering. The best part: more fossil fuels will need to be burned to produce the power to run all of these EV's, because idiot politicians fail to understand the value and reliability of nuclear power. As with many pipe dream environmental causes, this is very likely to be a dangerous and monumental failure. 😲😲😲
Those who buy electric cars are the problem
Our only defense against this nonsense is to not buy electric cars just say no we do not need them
Calif. is violating the U S Constitution. States are NOT allowed to regulate interstate commerce ( eggs , pork & now attempting cars ) .
scene…………………..
cue the circus music………………….
retardville………….. sometimes when you follow the masses, the 'M' is silent
They haven’t figured out the EV crap is just another Democrat SCAM. Wait & see!

Charge your car at night, nobody use 300 miles a day
Lol the moment liberals realize that the country doesn’t even have a 10th of the capacity to support a mass shift to electric vehicles and won’t for decades
Hey Gavin, let us know when you've completed the necessary grid infrastructure to handle the massive additional electricity necessary to power millions of EV's without compromising the current electricity needs of 40 million plus people. When you've got that set up, get back to us on your dictatorial plan to force us to drive EV's.
California is such a stellar example of a great state. Insanity.
Just wait for the same to happen coming winter in states that get below temps that’ll have to charge the EVs more often increasing energy demand…
obviously Obama administration people ought to pay power bill they had plenty of money to upgrade national power grid which that money cannot be found!!this alone should be end of democrats, oh yeah the utter failed administration under the democrats clan party
Sleazy Newsome is an enemy of US Citizens & The Constitution.
Get EVs, oh you got them? Now we are going to restrict how much you can charge your vehicles. Welcome to what you voted for California.
Same reason why we are always in a drought and California is always forcing us to not waste water… well stop wasting water by releasing it to save fish.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 reap what you sow. You deserve everything you get. Keep voting Democrat.
Lmao. Good. That's what you demons wanted.
Enjoy.
I'm sure the politicians are riding around in electric powered limousines and SUVs..
What a way to control people's mobility.
This is stupid..we should just go back using animals to get around..lol
So you really need a second car reliable gasoline engine car in other words…
CA leadership is just plain stupid.
and he wants to run for president, he can not even keep the lights on.
If they really needed electric brown outs to bring to light that the state wasn't ready to go all EV.
Then they should suffer all the consequences that come with re-election of the same idiot as governor over and over. At the moment there is no such thing as clean energy. Any state that thinks they are leading the way should suffer all the consequences.
Stupid hurts, as it should. Thats how you learn to quit being stupid!!!
Can't wait to watch the CA project fail.
That's when I turned the AC down to 68, started the washer dryer, and open my windows
Aren’t you glad you got your liberalektrik car so Newscum can control you👏
don't worry people. if Newsom order them to ride bikes. Californians will happily to follow, apparently Californians just love dems unconditionally.
I don't understand why no one brings up….. what happens when you need to charge far from home. How long does that take? Point think back to all the seedy truck stops. Do you want your wife and kids to have to spend hrs trapped, at a place like that?? Please tell me how they would be different? Except now instead of just truckers, your wife and kids will be just sitting there. Scared yet? 😨
Really? No surprise!
It's almost as if this was a very bad idea.
Spend another couple trillion dollars to control climate change…yeah right…
I'm going to <tell mother what not to do> that will fix everything
