Same thing will happen most everywhere. It's just when it comes to stupidity, California is much farther ahead than most places....
When you say "farther ahead" you really mean "more fucked up" correct ?

I think Cali is run by the same idiot thought process as Canada

But hey, they keep voting the asshats like Newsome in. Wait till it’s hot this summer and the grid really gets taxed. Should make for some fine viewing. Get the popcorn. 😂
It doesn't matter how we vote, hasn't for a long time.

Ordered an electric SUV for the wife. Almost all of her driving is putzing around town and it seems to make perfect sense. Plus, dare I say, the R1S is pretty cool. Paired it with solar panels on the roof to insulate against future electricity price increases.

Nothing is a panacea, but EVs aren't a no win scenario. In fact, it is far more "made in America" than gasoline (or our cars, lol). We are a net exporter of natural gas and produce a most of our own coal, wind, and solar power.

I’ll start easy on the fundamental and easy things.

What good is an EV when most of our electric power is NOT PRODUCED with this new “green energy”? Only a fraction of your power is produced with wind and solar. Wind and especially solar have many problems and future costs people currently are blind to.

The ONLY way you insure against future power increases is to entirely self power with solar off the grid. Let’s talk about your power plant. Start with your array of batteries (discuss their replacement costs, disposal details, current manufacturing origin), and your replacement costs for those panels (discuss their current origin the materials they are built of and their replacement costs). What is the size of your power plant at home to power your home and charge your vehicles?

It's far more likely, the solar panels and the EV's batteries are "made in China. How did you come to the conclusion it far more Made In America ? You'll soon find out that charging that EV's battery isn't anymore economical than putting gas in an ICE driven vehicle.

This kid is a lot, but long story short the Hummer wouldn’t charge so he drove it until it died then had it towed. And it was winter and under 10F. Really gives me a lot of faith.…

Why we are at it, shall we talk about MY tax money being given to EV buyers for tax credits and write-offs?

What good is an EV?

Always fun when someone pokes the bear who can’t drive his Hellcat for a month or two and is watching wonderful ICE vehicles lap the Daytona Speedway.

I m pretty sure there is no road tax on that EV charge
This is 1 thing that is VERY quiet around here
The roads won t repair themselves
Just wait until the powers that be drop that bomb

The liars are sitting back luring as many people as possible with incentives before they PHACK everyone
