Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
It’s true. I’m directly involved with this grid overhaul (no choice but to figure out how to comply with the new mandates). I could write a page on it, but in short our power grid will cost 2x to 4x what it costs now. No utility has a plan yet but the one’s starting to plan are indicating MASSIVE cost increases. But there are so many disadvantaged people in the state that they have no choice but to plan for wage based charges. I’ve read several early utility plans that explicitly state this is coming.

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
Pretty freaking incredible. Can’t imagine what the founding fathers must be thinking to themselves watching all this take place.
Never ceases to amaze me how Commiefornia continues to live up to its reputation.

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
In Connecticut, an estimated jump of $38 a month in Eversource electric bills this summer is partially due to balances that were never paid during the pandemic. “Overdue customer balances are paid for by all customers,” the company wrote.
Meanwhile, Eversource reported record profits in excess of $1.4 billion for 2022.

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
Also, seems unfair that the lions share of those on the higher end of the sliding scale will almost certainly be citizens and legal residents of CA who will be subsidizing electricity for a population of illegal in-state inhabitants that probably number in the millions. Admittedly, I don’t know where on the wage scale the higher costs begin.

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
Regarding the most recent posts above: Absolutely effing insane!
Man, I'm glad I live where I do! We know our governor must be doing something right when he's hated by Biden, Democrat politicians, and most of the media.

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
A similar subject...
I have never heard anything regarding how the states and feds will compensate for the gas tax dollars lost when everything is powered by electricity. At least those are progressive tax dollars based on consumption. That's one tax I don't mind if those dollars are usually used for road maintenance and construction. Anyone heard this addressed? Is tax added at the charging stations? What if I do most or all of my charging at home?

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
NY charges more to register and renew EVs . Not sure if there is a tax on public chargers but it’s a step in the right direction. People don’t realize that EVs cause more ware and tear than a comparable ICE . Wear is directly related to vehicle weight . An F150 lightning weighs a 1000 to 2000 pounds more than the standard f150 depending on its options

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
Utah has a tax for EVs built into its annual registration. They're also experimenting with a road usage fee.
Back to a previous topic, you might have seen this one. The Hertz CEO got the boot for his bad bet on EVs. https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/hertz...-of-a-job.html

I think used car sales will take off again, even more than during Covid. What's that going to do for American jobs in the automotive sector? I'm still not convinced these activists politicians understand how electrical power is generated. Although I think California is beginning to face the reality of needing to build more natural gas and, heaven forbid, nuclear power plants. Then again, they can always mandate wind turbines and solar panels on every building, and banks of lithium ion batteries for calm, cloudy days.

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
Really . We will reduce our carbon and China will increase theirs . They already produce twice the greenhouse gases as the US . China produced 27% of the total worldwide we were at 11% this was 5 years ago we’ve lowered that number where China is adding to theirs . It’s all smoke and mirrors .

Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them
I bet he doesn’t even remember signing the bill. Maybe things will change for the better in November…
