But according to your article…not.
I dug into the data.
I may have missed it but it’s kind of an irrelevant point so I won’t argue it anymore.
Cali has more EVs than any other state by far. Whether 600k or a million, it’s a lot.
True.
California leads in several categories as “the most”.
Pretentious ■■■■■■■■■ which directly relates to EVs, is another one.
Only some are.
“In order for a PHEV model to be treated like a bona fide ZEV, it will have to meet a strict set of specifications. After 2026, it will need to be certified as generating “super ultra-low emissions levels” over its useful life and have an extended warranty on emission related components for 15 years or 150,000 miles. Its battery will have to deliver 73 miles of all-electric range using the 2-cycle test, which is roughly equivalent to 50 miles of real world all-electric range. A qualifying PHEV will also have to meet some of the same requirements as BEVs such as a minimum 5.76-kilowatt onboard charger and a 20-foot convenience cord capable of both Level 1 and Level 2 charging.”
“Starting in 2026, the proposal requires that an increasing proportion of each automaker’s light duty vehicle sales will have to be comprised of ZEVs, which can include true ZEVs like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hydrogen powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), or a limited number of highly efficient PHEVs. The mandatory quota, often referred to simply as “the ZEV requirement”, begins at 35% in 2026, then increases 8% per year until 2031, when it reaches 76%. After 2031, it increases 6% each year, reaching 100% in 2035. PHEVs will be considered the same as genuine ZEVs, but they cannot exceed 20% of the electrified vehicles used to meet an automaker’s annual ZEV requirement.”
“Governor Gavin Newsom establishing 2035 as the target date for making 100% of new car sales in California “zero emission vehicles” (ZEVs). Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are not technically ZEVs because they run on gasoline when their batteries become depleted, but the proposal will allow them to be counted as ZEVs in an automaker’s fleet, with some important limitations.”
Basically they are just carving a spot for them they are not considered ZEV.
They’re going to need a law about when people can run the ICE part.

Let me know when you libs stop making ■■■■ up as you go along.
In Norway the income tax rate is 28%, VAT tax is a flat 25% on almost all goods & services, in addition to wealth tax, property taxes and death/inheritance tax. That’s a whole lot of taxes to pay in order to get all those nifty “government” freebees & subsidies isn’t it?

Sure they are…
My wife drives a Volt…driving around town, she never uses gas…
She can go weeks without putting gas in.
No where near on the same scale.
Population of California is 40 million people, with 14.2 million vehicles. The number of EVs (Electric Vehicles) in California is only 930,811, or 6% of total vehicles.
930811 EVs divided by 14201400 cars, means that Electric Vehicles only make up 6% of the total vehicles in California. If California is experiencing difficulties with EVs now only making up 6% of vehicles, what are they going to go through when they may up 75% of vehicles?

But we aren’t experiencing difficulties with EVs. But yes, they are still a very small slice of the total cars registered.
My mom has a BMW X5 plug in hybrid. She hasn’t put gas in her car in 4 months.
Norway does not have an inheritance tax.
Yes, they pay more in taxes that the USA.
They pay nothing for health care, nor college…up to a doctorate.
The quality of life is overall better in the nordic countries, vs the US.
You get what you pay for.
Maybe not if enough people leaves CA.
US immigrant Norwegians have a higher standard of living than Norwegians in Norway do.

We won’t lose that much. Don’t worry.
Wasn’t really worrying about it. I only worry about things I can change.
