dude, learn to read the laws on the books.
The revolt you're predicting did not come when the law was passed. So when it is going to come?
In 2026 when the law requires 35% of new car sales to be electric or plug-in hybrid?
In 2028 when the law mandates that less than 50% of new sales can be gas powered?
In 2035 when it's illegal to buy a new gas powered car?
Or never? What is the cutoff for "fucking with your cars"?
Your cars are in the pot and the water's already starting to boil.
there are no "laws" this was a "rule" from some agency that has no real enforcement mechanism.
CA new car sales in 2022 Electrics & Hybrids = 30.6%.
All the regulators did was look at current trends and tried to jump out in front of the trend to take advantage of it and claim it was their doing instead of normal capitalist market forces.
It's a sham, it's politics. If 2026 comes and electric sales plummet and the manufacturers aren't going to naturally meet the targets on their own without significantly warping the market, the rule will go poof.
