fwiw, I imagine the youth will be highly receptive. They are used to charging everything several times a day. They also prefer Uber.. Prefer not owning anything.. and love having their parents drive them everywhere. Long trips in a car? no biggie to stop every 300 miles for 30 min and recharge. For them, the car is less romantic than it was for earlier generations, especially those who have enjoyed and embraced the ICE for the past 100+ years.
And yes, I imagine no mater what is offered, some folks will have a hard time embracing change. That they may have to amend their habits to accommodate the new. otoh, so far, its only been California who has publicly claimed such a measure. Could this embolden others? perhaps.. or perhaps they will wait and see how this experiment goes. For me, if I was in cali, I would be nearly 65 when this goes into effect. I could buy my last ICE then and it truly might be my last car given how longs cars can last these days and not be burdened by this EV / Zero Emmission atrocities but I bet well before than I will have at minimum a hybrid and likely an EV before then. Maybe not as my only car, but as one of my cars. While guns are protected under the 2nd amendment, I have a feeling that many treat cars the same way.. as some certain unalienable right that will have to be pried from their cold dead hands. All it takes is strokes of legislation to change everything. |
