California moves to ban sales of new gas-powered cars

[k-town_king]

Do you know how much that battery costs?

Yes. About 2500 for a hybrid to around 8k. There are plenty of things on a new car that can cost that much. Almost all of them would happen before the battery goes bad.

Wtf are you talking about? They aren't disposable cars. You don't throw a car out when the radiator blows or an alternator goes bad. Its a battery. You fix the part genius. Wow

Lol

Here ya go champ! Go educate your dumb ass for once before talking! 65k miles on average!

Electric Car Battery Life: Everything You Need to Know

"Every battery in an electric car sold in the U.S. comes with a warranty that lasts for a minimum of eight years or up to 100,000 miles, says CarFax. For example, Kia offers a battery pack warranty for 10 years or 100,000 miles, while Hyundai provides a lifetime coverage of its electric cars' batteries."

Yea you have about a decade to not worry about the battery. Just like said. The buyer of a new car won't have to worry about the battery. And by then the cost will be much lower way in 2035.

A nothing burger to cry about from conservative snowflakes.

Now scroll on down to the next couple of paragraphs with all the caveats. Go read up how many batteries are replaced under warranty.

Now let’s talk about mainstream car owners and the impacts of fast charging a LiION battery’s life.

And how is broke ass Cali gonna pay for it.

Now let’s talk about the infrastructure outside of the home to charge them as well as the 220V stations that will need to be added in home.

Just the latest lunacy from the land of fruits and nuts.

We keep a car around 10-15 years. But it doesn’t matter we don’t live in Cali.

So what happens when all those Cali electric car owners wanna drive for a vacation somewhere?

Until the wheels fall off of it or the AC stops working. Whichever comes first.

It’s absolutely batshit crazy. It will get repealed because they won’t have the infrastructure and their residents cars will be next to useless on long drives.

Only hope is if hybrids get an extreme pass and count as zero emissions. But then you’ve just got a ****** performing gasoline powered car Stoopid

A state with the worst managed power grid in the country is going to go forward with a plan that requires them to have the best power grid in the country in 15 years.

Bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off.

Well you are someone who won't have to worry about this. You obviously aren't a new car buyer. Why do you care?

I’ve gotten pretty good at AC work and wheel hub repairs. My 2012 F-250 still has the factory extended warranty on it till 2025. I doubt I ever sell this truck I love it. Once the seats finally give out I’ll buy new skins and keep on going.

Or more basically he doesn’t live in Cali and won’t have to deal with this dumbassery!

I dont care. I just am amused - and slightly saddened - when I see the stupid **** that goes on in california. It could be such a nice state but politicians are running it into the ground.

What comes to CA eventually comes to rest of nation

I spend only a few days a month at home so when I am home I dont feel too inclined towards doing any car work that isn't totally necessary. 90% of my drive time is spent in rentals anyway.

Cars are the worst possible investment. I prefer to spend my disposable income on recreation boom sticks and such.

Not everybody can afford a new Escalade with 28 inch wheels every year.

 

[NorthDallas40]

I’m wondering how Cali residents are going to react to seeing automobile crashes on the news which pierce the battery casing and the whole car rapidly goes up in flames?

That will mandate more structure/encasement around the battery compartment... which will add weight and cost ... which will decrease range... which will call for larger batteries... which will add weight and cost... rinse repeat death spiral

Oh wow. That’s another point. The rental car market. I’m gonna guess the Cali rental car market will stay gas... too funny

Few years old F-150 with factory 22s. I haven't rode big rims like that for about 10 years. This isn't 2005 and I'm not 20 something.

My statement?

No. California’s liberal agenda.

Think about all the dealers that close up and move to the CA border in AZ, NV and OR

 

[BreatheUT]

Not this time.

Also looks like California didn't expect college football to go on without them.....oops!
