California can't even sustain the grid now. Rolling blackouts are still a thing. Nothing will be rolling in the morning when all those vehicles fail to get recharged.
Hello; An update. Seems the plan is not to wait until 2035. Not sure it is effect yet but the plan seems to be to have a series of dates for particular milestones. All new EV sales 25% by a set year. 50% by a later year. 75% by a later year. Then 100% by 2035. So you comment is likely to be true even sooner.

The number of new cars sold every year is less than 5% (14m vs 290m) of those on the road. The infrastructure will have time adjust.

Based on what is happening in CA and TX now the infrastructure Is running out of time. They need to start doing something today. Honestly I’m hoping the growing numbers of EV’s will push those in the energy sector to get off their asses and start doing something. That would benefit all of us.

In order to be 100% BEV we need to absorb 369 million gallons of gasoline per day. Each gallon is equal to 33 kWh. Simple math says we need to increase generation and distribution capacity by 12,177,000,000 kWh's.

And we are supposed to get this done by 2035?

ROFL

6 years to build a power plant not including all the environmental crap. Try to get a permit for anything other than wind and solar.

It's just not feasible.

Let those who an EV makes sense get one, let the rest of us buy what works best for us. Sometime in the future we will find an alternative to oil. It won't be in my lifetime no matter how many mandates or bans there are.

No, and no one have ever said we will or need to. The complete changeover will take decades. I totally agree that upgrades to the existing infrastructure needs to happen immediately but I’m not sure anyone is listening.

I just hope I'm alive to see this 2035 train wreck. The wreck will start in 2026 when 33% need to be BEV. They cannot support the current EV density.

The problem is, we will be on the train when it crashes. The nutheads that caused the crash will be far away, on their superyachs, drinking champagne, and won't care two hoots about it. It is us who will have to deal with the wreck, not them.

You do know that most of those ā€nutheadsā€ are involved in the oil industry not the production of EVā€˜s. The exception is Musk, but he made his money long before Tesla.

They brainwashed the current and last generation into thinking the world will come to an end if we use fossil fuels. So the wreck will happen since none of the younger voting age people can see the facts.

When I was in HS they said NY city would be under water by now.....

By nutheads I mean the politicians who impose these unsustainable deadlines. They won't be in office by then. It will be somebody else's job to clean up the mess.

Hello; an extraordinary statement. Where did you get this information?

California plan…..mandate EV…power grid won’t handle …go to federal government when it’s emergency that nobody can charge cars…federal government has to roll in and bail them out to fix power grid. Be interesting since they are so opposed to nuclear power

Also coal and natural gas. California has caused 99% of the problems they have themselves. I don't want my tax dollars bailing them out.

They should build water reservoirs. They should allow power companies to build natural gas power plants......

They should do something to discourage so many people from living there. That environment wasn't meant to support 40m people.

Cali to ban new ICE cars by 2035.

Imagine all these cars plugged in every night......

How long would an EV last in that type of traffic, when the traffic is stalled for hours on end due to major accident or weather calamity? And where/how would the same EVs start charging…
