Not enough power plants in the country to "fuel" these electric folly trollies, called EVs.

What did I hear about "rolling brown and black-outs" on the West Coast this last year, my imagination ?

Manufacture of Batteries for these EV's, highly toxic, tendancy to overheat, explode, and are very difficult to recycle. Built into the vehicle is their longevity limiter; after efficiency of numerous "recharge cycles" reaches the approximate 80% retained power level, they quit being efficient and the vehicle itself calls for their replacement - an instant - NO VA - No Go !

$12-22K for replacement battery packs - right.

Spend $45,000 or more for your future lawn ornaments and potential planters.

#2 Thought this was the Bee. Ban the sale of gas-powered cars (except for those in upper political positions?). Another crazy idea coming from the left coast. Are we becoming like China, i.e. riding bicycles to get around? There are an estimated 1 billion bicycles in the world; 400 million of which are in China.

#3 #1, you only left out the part about subsidies that ensure all tax payers are on the hook for the overpriced crap.

#4 It appears some understand that they are pushing to country to civil war and are desperate to disarm the population.

#5 Yep.
Destroy small business owners.
Demoralize America's children. Ruin their education.
Encourage public riots by your shock troops while locking down everyone else.
Unleash a small army of race-hustling Red Guards to destroy careers, suppress speech and politicize every aspect of American life.
Suppress the biggest story of the century so far, the manifest corruption and sickening deoravity if the Democrat presidential candidate's family.
Allow a handful of billionaires to spend literally $1 billion to corrupt and subvert our election system and local prosecutors
Twist, harvest, forge, stuff millions of ballots to yield an absurd election result that has a probability (absent fraud) of about 0.001
Protect a known killer, the NY Governor who sent infected elders back into NY's nursing homes, killing thousands
Flood the nation with millions of illegals, many with contagious diseases and/or criminals. Grant amnesty to 20m already here.
Expand the surveillance state
Extend the lockdowns
Hammer at the 1st Amendment
Undermine the 4th and 5th Amendments
Destroy the 2nd Amendment

... yeah, I guess you could say that they're trying to set off a second Civil War

#6 Current auto franchises in Nevada hail this move as an important step in protecting Gaia. *

#7 Go for it in California. That way the locusts can't move to other states and fuck them up. Not enough energy to power their cars.

#9 And to make it MORE fun, read about what happens when these suckers catch fire. Some firehouse in England burned to the ground when the Fire Chief's cool EV caught fire and they couldn't put it out. AT THE FIRE HOUSE ITSELF.

#10 Not crazy if your plan is to restrict the movement of those who are not "on board".

And of course, Gov Tags are exempt.

#11 The faster you drive the populace into the hive cities where every aspect of their lives depends on government control or policy, the greater the power for tyrants. Making private transport out of reach is a huge step in that cattle-prodding policy mindset.

#12 Trump should have set a date for such a thing and then the left would have railed against it. Set the date far enough in the future and technology will solve the problem before your mandate.
