It is fucking comical for anyone to think that massive EV semi's will replace gas vehicles. They don't work well in heat, they don't work well in cold, they have extremely limited battery range, they take a long time to recharge, no truckstop/repair shop is equipped to work on them, new tow trucks may be needed because of their weight (which will be gas powered)... etc..etc...

From the post:

>Wyoming has joined a 17-state coalition led by Nebraska in suing California for creating ZEV standards for trucking fleets. Requirement: Any new truck fleet operators buy must be a ZEV starting in January 2024. Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles must be retired when they have been in use for 13 years, have traveled more than 800,000 miles, or are more than 18 years old.

Lol trucks just won't deliver to California anymore. They'll deliver to the border and then transfer to compliant trucks while it remains profitable. After that they won't use trucks anymore they'll use trains or planes and charge a premium and treat CA like Alaska or Hawaii

Well, the bigger problem is them delivering FROM cali. Some of the largest ports in the country.

Cali is just trying to exert unreasonable control over the entire country just like how there are no blue states, only blue cities.

Though, They do NOT have the right to regulate inter-state commerce. So.. Don't elect a politician from CA to President/VP or everyone is fucked.
