    Exclamation Massachusetts to Ban Sale of New Gas-Powered Cars by 2035

    Massachusetts to Ban Sale of New Gas-Powered Cars by 2035 - The measure follows California’s plan to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in an effort to combat climate change

    60de0ff5cd458.png

    While EVs are still in the single-digit area of overall vehicle sales, they continue to climb and have already surpassed the sales of vehicles with manual transmissions. Now it seems that the electrification investments made by automakers are getting a boost from another part of the country.

    Massachusetts is joining California with a plan to ban the sale of new gasolined-powered cars by 2035. In late 2020, Governor Charlie Baker released a 2050 decarbonization road map that includes the reduction of emissions from passenger cars. Massachusetts states that 27 percent of statewide emissions come from light-duty vehicles (passenger vehicles). The goal is for the state to reach net-zero fossil-fuel emissions by 2050.


    In order to make sure those EVs are actually usable, the state plans to expand the public charging infrastructure to take into account that many people don't have a garage in which to charge an electric vehicle.

    A sufficient charging infrastructure won't help if the grid can't keep up.

    EV's.............far from workable.
    California has rolling blackouts and little water for dams producing electricity.
    Then let's increase the demand on a grid that catches on fire and burns every year. (CA)
    No, they don't want the little people to move around much. Those freaking elites will never vouch for an EV.
    This is a very poorly executed plan.

    For Mrs. U it would be workable. She drives about 3000 miles a year. She's more conservative than me on some things but this would let her go to lunch with her snotty leftist friends and brag about her socially conscious car. Me? No way. I do about 26000 miles a year. It won't work.

    EVs are the future. The future isn't here.

    We need adequate power production. Better batteries. And a recharging infrastructure. All of this should happen before they are encouraged as mainstream.

    How are many people in this country going to afford this conversion?
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    I wonder how the average person affords a gas-powered car at todays prices. A non-$#@! car I mean.

    As long as the special class is allowed to profit off transportation, they'll never get to the completely independent energy source: Hydrogen.
    Imagine, driving across Texas. You'll have to stop 3 times to recharge, which takes 8 hours. 300-350 miles per charge.
    And what happens if you run out of battery far and away from a source of power?
    EV's cost 3 to 4 times what a car costs.
    You can stop and fill up on a long trip with gas.
    You're stuck wherever you land with an EV.
    Maybe horses aren't a bad idea after all.......and you can eat them if it is absolutely necessary. I'd like to see someone eat an EV in a pinch
