So, Doc...do you drive a plug-in electric car? If not, why not?
Not at present my friend - but I only put 3,000 miles per year on my truck, which is almost ten years old with less than 30k on it. Don't commute - work out of home office. Everything (including my gym and 90% of my shopping) is within a 2 miles of my home.
But when I buy another car it'll be this one.
/----/Not true, but you run along and play with your friends./----/ Why would that anger us? It's a free country (Libs are trying to change that of course) and people are free to buy an electric if they want. I'd consider one if it was practical for my driving habits. If California wants to mandate it it's a state rights decision. You're trying to make something out of nothing.
Oh c'mon - Literally anything involving California or Jerry Brown drives most RW nuts around here crazy.
This is sure to anger Trumpflakes
Gov. Jerry Brown outlined a $2.5 billion plan Friday to help Californians buy electric vehicles and expand a network of charging stations as part of a goal of getting 5 million zero-emission cars on the road by 2030.
The ambitious proposal to transform California's car culture comes as Brown begins his final year in office and works to set the stage for his environmental legacy to continue under his successor. The Democratic governor has positioned California as a global leader in fighting climate change amid President Donald Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord.

It also good to pay attention to the title of your thread. “Zero emission cars”!
Right - so you understand that these charging stations will go in with solar panels yes?

Those batteries are not open to the environment, so what you say is incorrect.there is a chemical reaction in the batteries that emits gases...that breaks the zero emission idea..It also good to pay attention to the title of your thread. “Zero emission cars”!

Like the roofs of the charging stations are the only roofs in town? I imagine Musk is already working out deals with warehouses and utilities to use those roofs to provide electricity to his charging stations.It also good to pay attention to the title of your thread. “Zero emission cars”!

This is some serious delusion right there. Aint no way putting up solar panels less than the size of a couple football fields is gonna sustain --- "a charging station".. Maybe not even a home solar installation for ONE EV unless it's overspecified by a factor of 2..
The capture rate of solar would NEVER run a drop in solar "gas station". Go learn some things.
Charging at 120V just won't work for "drive-up" stations. At 220V, it's a 40 AMP service. That's 8KWatts of power. About 2.5 to 4 times the size of a home installation. And that's ONE vehicle at a time. And ONLY for about 7 hours of daylight.

At present. By 2023, I am willing to bet that the range of the EV's will be twice or three times what it is today. And they will be a lot cheaper. The range of the Tesla Semi and Roadster is showing the way. The battery technology is developing like the solar panel technology did. Once there was a large market, the price started dropping precipitously. And as the Tesla battery demonstrated in Australia, there are more the one reason to put in grid scale storage.So, it has (in the real world) about a 90-mile radius of use. Yeahno.
Musk is going to either be one of the richest men in the world, or he is going to be flat broke. Really doesn't matter, either way, he will have made a difference. Something you will never be able to say. The names of the people that stood beside the road and yelled 'Get a horse' are long forgotten. Ford is remembered.Like the roofs of the charging stations are the only roofs in town?

Oh sure.. He's gonna be a major utility.. In addition to being a car manufacturer, and rocket scientist and tunnel digger. ALL on the Federal dole at once..
Dumb ass, California has provided much of the money to build the wind mills East of the Colombia Gorge. And provided Oregon and Washington's wheat farmers with income. Oregon has vast potential in the Southeast area of the state for wind and solar, all it needs is a grid from the Idaho border to the California border.This is sure to anger Trumpflakes

As long as California's electricity grid is seperated from the rest of the country...who cares? Let the idiots live with the people they voted for.
Were I a resident of California, it would be bother me that the governor is wasting $2.5 billion on something non-essential when the state is facing some dire budget issues.

You were saying?
SACRAMENTO — Four-term Gov. Jerry Brown released his 16th, and final, annual budget blueprint on Wednesday, urging legislators to squirrel away most of the state’s projected $6.1 billion surplus as he warned of the next economic downturn and potential cuts by the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress.
The surplus is a dramatic departure from the troubles Brown faced in 2011, when he returned to the governor’s office after a quarter-century hiatus. At the time, California’s economy was still wobbly from the Great Recession, and state officials were wrestling with a $27 billion budget deficit.
Gov. Jerry Brown proposes $131.7 billion budget amid huge surplus

You mean those slow ass antique ICE's? Tesla P100D 2.28 seconds 0 to 60.I don’t give a shit keep that shit to yourselves, good ol’ American horse power works just fine for me.there is a chemical reaction in the batteries that emits gases...that breaks the zero emission idea..
Okay fair enuf - however not much of a comparison

Funny, ICE engines emit all kinds of toxic gases, have toxic lead-acid batteries in them, and toxic oil in the crankcase. The batteries in EV's are sealed and can be re-cycled. You 'Conservatives' are so damned stupid in use arguements that invalidate your own points.Funny thing electric cars Are run by toxic batteries... lolIt also good to pay attention to the title of your thread. “Zero emission cars”!
