I have no doubt that the destruction of these types of business is the feature, not the bug, when it comes to the commies in this state.

Bad decisions have consequences... every decision California makes is a bad one.
Those Californians can feel so virtuous and so superior to the rest of us as they pay those higher prices.

Where is all this friggin’ electricity coming from?? A key and a kite??
This whole EV thing isn’t going to end well, as it did from 1894-1915. ICE will remain king.
California's government leaders are absolutely retarded. It's comparable to giving a kindergartener a driver's license and expecting him to drive to school every day.
Long Beach thinks they'll get cleaner air, but the increased particulates from tires and brake pads from heavier trucks might negate whatever gains they get from cleaner tailpipes.
California provides great support for the premise that a one-party state, unhindered by organized opposition, will quckly spin out of control. And that dedicating resources to a spurious principle will soon yield absurdity.

I see you still have a history book. Turn it in for destruction of misinformation.
Electricity came from a palm tree down to a thatch hut.
Say it ain’t so. Nobody saw that one coming.
I think you’ve stumbled upon an idea there. Instead of making wind turbines safe from lightning strikes, we should make them attractive to strikes and collect the electricity from lightning in battery packs. That’ll solve the world’s energy problems!
This is why I think complaining about corporate taxes being too low. Taxes are a part of the cost of doing business. If they go up, consumer prices go up.
It’s that simple.
how long to charge one of those suckers???
Stage coaches pulled by teams of unicorns would make almost as much sense.
If you don’t like the answers/results you’re getting check your premise. Unfortunately, some folks can never admit their premise is WRONG.
They’ll carry less cargo because of their extra weight so they’ll have to make more trips ? D’oh
A few years ago I built an electric bicycle. It had approximately 30 miles of range and could average about 30 mph on the flat. It cost very little to charge it up and had obvious applications... it kind of made sense. I still ended up selling it because it didn't actually fit my needs. It cost only a few hundred dollars to put together and was a fun project. Would I build another one? No.
These days people are spending massive amounts of money on electric cars which have payments that are far more than most people spend on gasoline. They cost even more when you figure in what they spend to insure, charge and maintain them, not to mention the very rapid depreciation in value.
If you remove Tesla from the equation only about 50% of electric car buyers say that they would purchase another electric car.
Electric trucks from pickups to any large commercial vehicle are mostly an unmitigated disaster.
Battery-powered delivery vans actually make a lot of sense. The operating cost is definitely lower for an EV van than an ICE van, and for most applications the van is parked at a terminal overnight and has hours of idle time for charging.
Electrifying a Class 8 tractor for over-the-road use is like transporting cargo from Asia to the U.S. in a canoe.
