California officials have ruled that by 2026, thirty-five percent of all new vehicles must be hybrid electrics, full electrics, or powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Now, that is just four years away.
But maybe the pace of the state converting to electrics is already that rapid. It is said that seven percent of the new vehicles in 2018 were electric -- and has since doubled.
Come 2035, California is to have 100 percent of its news cars electric.
Can the grid support such a move to electification? Will it make much of a difference in green house emissions?
How many states will follow suit? Two things to note, there. 1.) Perhaps 16 states have been following California's lead on emissions, and they are expected to follow suit this time, as well. 2.) Manufacturers are not inclined to make one car for 17 states and a different one for the other states. So, new gasoline cars possibly will not be produced by the end 2035.
