[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying "EVs" are a disaster when you mean trucks for big hauls and all-terrain is stupid. Use the right tool for the right job. My husband's EV is meant to be a commuter car; it does a fantastic job for that. If he wanted to haul lumber up a mountain every day in ice and snow, he'd use a different vehicle. Dumb thread.[/quote]

Yeah, except people in California won't have a choice. They will be forced to buy trash EV trucks if they have to haul work equipment etc.  What are they gonna do, waste 4 hours per day charging because they have to drive 150 miles in a day while hauling equipment.

What a dumb post by you. [/quote]

Oh here we go. The RWNJs have declared war on EV’s. Move to California and complain.  :roll: [/quote]

Another idiot who doesn't realize CA regs impose standards and regs on many other states.[/quote]

Not universally.

What state do you live in? What CA regs affect you right now?

A lot of the vehicle emissions and MPG-related rules California has more strict rules than the EPA which causes the automakers to collectively step their game up. Even if it doesn't actually get implemented in 2035 as written in 2022 due to California regime changes or legal challenges it starts to make a business case for decision-makers at these companies to electrify more of their fleet and invest in R&D.

That said, PP says it like it's a bad thing. If you think of electric/electrified cars from going to Prius -> Leaf -> Model S -> Rivian/Hummer/F150 Lightning in ~15-20 years it shows how much the battery and drivetrain technology has improved. You know your argument sucks when you have to bring up an edge commercial use-case that doesn't apply to 99% of vehicles on the road.
