I predict that sentiment will grow across the nation as more and more wage earners and businesses leave the state.
I am all in favor of continuing to develop the EV industry, but there will have to be major changes to our aging electric grid to support the
additional demand!
Power outages in my part of the state are almost a daily event now, and will get worse with increased load. 668 customers (meters)
lost power this morning around 8:00 am. It is dead calm, no fires or accidents to cause an outage, and it is well out of peak demand hours!

No new ICE cars in 2035.
"Starting in 2026, California will require 35 percent of new vehicles to be either partially or fully electric. Plug-in hybrids like the Prius
Prime—where a battery provides a few dozen miles of electric-only range before a gas engine takes over—will count the same as a fully EV if it
provides 70 miles or more of electric-only range and complies with the other regulations for EVs. If the range is less than that, it counts as a
“partial vehicle” based on a formula you can read about here if you’re interested in such things. The “Zero Emissions Vehicle” requirement increases year by year until it is 100 percent in 2035,
by which point all cars will have to be either PHEVs that hit the range requirement or full EVs. "

Because of the high price for battery powered vehicles
One thing for sure is that CA used ICE vehicles will see increased demand and higher prices.

I disagree with you. I'm glad to see that Bajanomad deleted the political posts. The argument is never-ending. Why bother?
If you want to participate in a US blue vs. red political debate, go to off-topic.

Just heard on the news (KPBS) that once CA receives a waiver from the federal government to allow for the implementation of the new EV rules, 17 other
states are ready to implement the CA rules, which they are allowed to do. If so, it would affect 40% of all new car sales in the US.

This morning's reported power outages (reported by YubaNet);
Sierra County, 913 customers
Placer County, 2,699 customers
Eldorado County, 898 customers
Again, no wind event, fires or accident caused outages!

What does that mean?
The usa has electric grid that crosses state lines, interconnects states/generators/consumers (with small exception for whacky states like tx). Some
states are net export. Some states are net import. Not big deal on the grid.
Woke!

So what? Outages are part of distribution… some are planned. Some are not. Is the frequency of outages abnormal?

Abnormal?....Yes! Last year we had a few planned power outages during "Red Flag" fire danger, and there have been some called out for maintenance and
upgrades, but this year it has been an almost daily occurrence somewhere in Nevada or nearby Counties.
These are unrelated events, and usually outside of peak demand hours, so I am not sure what P.G.&E's problem is. This is just me guessing, but it
might be at least partially due to the new automatic shut-off devices designed to prevent fires.
I have lost power (unplanned) four times in the last month and a half. One of them was due to a suicidal squirrel playing on a transformer at the end
of my street. The transformer only served four houses (not mine) but the shut down was probably thirty or forty houses in the area.

x2 thx Doug!
If I never read another disparaging comment about Biden, and Dems generally, or Repubs, and how they're effectively destroying democracy, I'll be less
PO'd.
Tell me if I'm preaching to the choir here. What's wrong with OT? Rants and venting encouraged over there.
Tom throws bait, JZ jumps in hoping to provoke a fight. Stop it Tom. JZ? Grow up.
caj13. Thx for calling trolls on their BS.

I think this is going to kill tourism in California. Many places will now be out of reach. Drive from San Diego to Mammoth to go skiing? Nope? Tahoe?
Nope. LA to San Francisco? Not in one day. How will California replace its cut in the gasoline sales taxes? That funds road infrastructure.
This has disaster written all over it and is poorly thought out.

Dont be a pessimist!
Fear is the natural reaction of the ignorant and superstitious. Dont be afraid!
Private sector will rise to the challenge and build the tech to alleviate your fears! Seek courage!
