California to ban selling new gas-powered cars by 2035

https://www.wired.com/story/californ...red-cars-2035/

Other articles on the topic are only a DuckDuckGo search away.

Thoughts?

First off I'm not sure how he can regulate something that will happen in the future, not even during his time in office.

Except for coastal California a lot of the population is spread out and range anxiety can be huge; plus it wouldn't be cost efficient for small hick towns to implement a giant charging station in the middle of nowhere - thinking more specifically of southeastern CA where there are multiple instances of "Gas, exit 180, next facilities 200 miles away".

But then again battery technology will probably have advanced quite far, with Honda working on fluoride-ion batteries and Tesla working on a much more robust battery chemistry.

I guess CA is tired of competing with AK and HI for the highest priced gasoline in the country?
