Great article...my only issue I find is with the statement "....While these findings do not mean electric trucks are completely useless, they do prove the vehicles are not nearly as effective as gas-powered trucks."Journalists Hook RV Up to $93K Electric Truck, Found It Wouldn't Even Make 100 Miles Before Needing a Recharge
Democrats love to tout electric vehicles, but when it comes to trucks, EVs have a long way to go before comparing to gas-powered vehicles.www.westernjournal.com
California will find themselves without a way to move heavy loads. How long will it take to charge a semi's batteries with a roof mounted solar panel? All of the container ships will go to other ports in other states, like Texas, Alabama and Florida. Hopefully, I live long enough to witness that cluster fuck.And then there is California....
NO NEW DIESEL Big Rig TRUCK SALES after2035.
California bans the sale of new diesel trucks by 2036
The new mandate is estimated to deliver $26.5 billion in public health benefits in California in avoided health impacts and deaths due to diesel pollution.www.cnbc.com
Additionally, they will not allow trucks older than 2010 to be registered again.
California is blocking diesel big rigs with pre-2010 engines
Enforcement for any polluters will take the form of California's DMV denying new registrations to non-compliant vehicles, auditing, and issuing fines.www.greencarreports.com
There will be massive DIESEL trainloads of shipping containers delivered to distribution hubs just OUTSIDE of Commiefornia where they will get loaded onto trucks. Then they will try to regulate trains.California will find themselves without a way to move heavy loads. How long will it take to charge a semi's batteries with a roof mounted solar panel?

Since they're Diesel generator - electric drive motor locomotives, you'd think they'd get some special consideration, but no.Check the news. The unelected nazis at CARB (appointed by the idiot leftists elected in this dump) have now banned diesel train locomotives older than 23 years old, as well as adding a host of other restrictions/regulations. The only glimmer of hope is that this must be approved by the Feds at the EPA, but given the illogical stances held by the current administration, they will probably get approved.
That one isn't even Brandon.... it is CARB-- the California Air Resources Board-- an autonomous regulating body that can write their own regulations.Since they're Diesel generator - electric drive motor locomotives, you'd think they'd get some special consideration, but no.
Unlike some 50 year old G.E. Diesel-Electrics pulling a mile long / 100 car train with 3 or 4 locomotives hooked together, you won't see that with a battery-powered locomotive....if you did, the first 50 cars would be the batteries for them to run on.
Freight costs will skyrocket even more...Thanks, Brandon!
And where are you going to put the toxic waste from 100's of millions of such banks.I find it quite humorous the greenies haven't thought past the initial purchase, of how you are going to maintain or repair your battery bank when cells start going bad. It's not a matter of "if", it's just a matter of "when" they go bad. The battery IS the entire frame of what the car is built on. It's not like you just pop the trunk or remove the back seat to access the batteries. So, a $62,000.00 car is absolutely totaled out if a battery looses a bank of cells. You would have to disassemble the entire car to get to them. Fucking brilliant.
This is the number one reason I will never own an EV. I will keep my ICE vehicles until they plant me in the ground. Politicians make terrible product engineers.

Oh, I'm familiar with CARB...I lived in CA for 29 years. I just figured the entire current WH admin and cabinet officials with the "Green New Deal" are applying pressure.That one isn't even Brandon.... it is CARB-- the California Air Resources Board-- an autonomous regulating body that can write their own regulations.
Thomas Paint forecast their existence 240 years ago...
