Agreed, which is why I begrudgingly accept that local ordinances are appropriate, which can include California setting their own standards which tend to dictate vehicle designs for the rest of the country, since it's the largest market in the US.

I'm disappointed that VW diesel-gate money went towards them owning a near monopoly on the DCFC infrastructure rather than something else, like EV school busses. That more directly addresses what they are accused of; diesel particulate pollution negatively impacting health. Where better to reduce diesel emissions than around all children, on a daily basis?

...and this comment reminded me of the cartoon freebeard shared, probably in the thread that should not be mentioned.
