California has said it will ban the sale of gas powered vehicles starting in 2035! With a car market as large as that of many European countries, this is a BFD. Also, 16 states usually follow California's lead, putting pressure on carmakers to ramp up their EV programs. If I am still driving in 2035, it will definitely be electric.
Of course the most conservative Supreme Court in a century will probably find some way to block California's initiative, but the idea of an EV future is a genie which will not go back into the bottle without a fight. The Court threw incentives to the states when it came to abortion law and will reap the whirlwind from the Dobbs decision. Let's see if they can step on their collective robe when it comes to saving the planet.
