I might be retarded, but how do you mandate that 12% of cars sold in the state be electric, much less 35% or 68%? I get the idea of not selling ICE cars at all, but mandating a cap on sales doesn't make sense.

How do you know how many sales you'll make in a year before the year is over? I know there are projections and averages, but how do you say "for every 100 cars sold, 68 of them have to be electric."? A guy driving a pickup truck for work can't use a Tesla.

Do the car dealerships stop selling new cars at a certain point every month and say "sorry folks, gotta sell six more EVs before we can allow you to buy that F150." ?

Obviously there's a hole for used vehicles, and maybe there's a commerce clause loophole for vehicles brought into the state (but I doubt it), but this is just madness.

I'm sure nobody thought about apartment complexes or on street parking, or the fact that most of the Bay area is a constant open crime wave of vehicle break ins. How do you charge a car overnight on a city street like that. Absolute lunacy.

California was such a beautiful state once.

You are already lost, and have lost the argument. If you can’t sell what you have, and can’t buy another. Your freedom is gone, you have become a servant of another. Not just a servant, but one that will never be free again. So much for living 15 miles from a store, move into that city that is miles wide, and a few hundred feet thick.

THIS is the future.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kz5vEqdaSc
