The ban will be for new petrol cars. In 13 years. There are approx. 2m new road vehicles sold in California per annum. I reckon 1/4 will be exempt; delivery, farming, emergency, diesel, hydrogen, etc. At 100 chargers per week, it’s 67,600 chargers in 13 years. There are presently approx. 8,200 petrol stations in California. |

Where did you get the information that California will install 100 chargers per week? Here are my personal experiences with EV Chargers (in San Francisco Bay Area) - Our home was built in 1979, currently in process of installing a 7.2kw Solars. Asked the installer to upgrade our panel from 100A to 200A Panel. No big deal, just $2,500 for the panel upgrade! Except we have underground utilities and the Power company (PG&E) requires upgrade the underground conduits for the larger wires. That would cost at least $35,000 (could be more if the connection is across the street. The current wait time for permit is at least 18 months! -My company building was built sometime in the late 1980s, it is a LEED Platinum Certified. We currently have 2 L2 chargers on-site. They are looking to install a few more and was told NO CAN'T DO because we do not have anymore capacity. Would have to upgrade the Transformers and the cost would be hundred of thousands of dollars. Plus waiting for permit and disruptions to day to day operations. So NO, it is not that easy to just install EV Chargers! We are not even talking about the Grids and available power! Everything the temperature get in the 90s, they asked everyone to cut back on power consumption. Then rolling black out if it is hot for multiple days. I am closing on 100,000 miles on my second VW eGolf as a daily commuter. I really enjoy EV as my DD but EV definitely not for the masses! Not anytime soon. |

Hello, neighbour. Fellow San Francisco denizen here. Yeah, you’re in a pickle. So sorry. But 100 chargers per week in the whole state is a nothing. Remember alone that now every new home in the state must have rooftop solar. And there are more than 100 new homes built every week. Plus commercial and public spaces. Power? Yours truly is solving that for you. You’re welcome.

Exactly, been driving EV for more than 7 years now! A lot of my co-workers ask for advices and maybe 1-2 out 10 would be a good fit for EV. These are pretty high earnings individuals, mostly owned or live in single family homes so the percentage is probably even less when we look at the masses.

But will he be able to afford to replace the battery. It's not like you can go down to the junkyard and get a used Maxima engine for $1500 and install it with your buddies over the weekend.

Edit: could you be envisioning people under a particular income; or ethic groups would be granted exemptions? I guess they'd have to special order an ICE into CA with their theoretical exemption? |

You can find the same info from many sources including Chevron themselves who admit they refuse to invest in any refinery buildout.

More like locale, usage of car, etc. For example, it may be difficult for LEOs and EMTs to do their jobs.

I’m not understanding the hesitancy to look at the numbers. And if there’s a law that every new home must have solar, storage and charger, that’s that. |
