Brian Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The decision, to take effect by 2035, will very likely speed a wider transition to electric vehicles because many other states follow California’s standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 According to Google, about 2 million cars are sold in CA each year, and about 15 million cars are sold in the US. Assuming CA does force cars to go all electric, the usual bunch of states follows CA's lead, and car sales don't change dramatically, that works out to ~5 million EVs a year would be sold in the US. Presumably, some buyers in those states would go out to get a gas vehicle, but some amount of buyers in non-mandate states would buy EVs, so for my napkin math I'll assume it washes out. Last year ~600k EVs were sold in the US, and as far as I can tell, it's more of a supply issue than a demand one. So production would need to ramp up by nearly 10x in 13 years to meet that date. 2035 is also the date the EU has set for it's 100% EV goal, so production would need to ramp up even more. Various car companies have already pledged to move to most or all EV production by then, so they at least seem to think it's plausible. I really hope that the CA ban manages to thread the needle on trucks and SUVs better than the CAFE standards have. Clearly many commercial vehicles won't make the transition date, but while the incentives were designed to make vehicles more efficient, they also pushed people towards larger and less efficient vehicles. I'm really hoping history doesn't repeat itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a school bus route in terms of miles? Electric buses are great since they typically are in stop and go traffic and don't actually go very far.

Electric buses are great since they typically are in stop and go traffic and don't actually go very far. I could write paragraphs on electric busses with all the seminars i've been attending, but basically it boils down to, urban districts will have almost no issues outside of long distance trips for sports or field trips, rural ones will have runs that literally can not do it daily, and thats before you get into sports trips and field trips. But the number 1 issues is they're about 200k more than a diesel bus to buy, and while they're cheaper to operate the break even point from actual districts is like 12 years, or about twice as long as we keep our busses currently where i'm at. At my old district which was more urban, busses mostly ran 30-40 miles a day on their normal routes, special needs could do 100, at my current district you can basically double those numbers. International offers a 200 mile range bus, Thomas a 135, and Bluebird a 120, and they'll all tell you on a perfect day you'll get 75% of that, and by that i mean without A/C or Heat running.

thewhyteboar Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 The price of gas should be based on the kind of car you own. If you bought a giant dumbass truck for your daily errand through the Starbucks drive thru, gas should be a billion dollars a gallon. Bought a car that actually makes sense? Gas is free plus you are allowed to kick truck-owner in the shins. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
