Only electric

Are electric cars going to replace traditional cars some day? A bureaucrat in California is doing everything she can to make sure that happens ASAP in her state. Mary Nichols "is pushing regula­tions today that could by midcentury all but banish the internal combustion engine from California’s famous highways."



"California’s goals for the adoption of elec­tric vehicle technology are the most strin­gent in the nation, but Nichols thinks they need to be even tougher . . [she] wants 100 percent of the new vehicles sold to be zero- or almost-zero-emissions by 2030."

The guy running Fiat Chrysler hopes no one in California buys his electric Fiat (which he sells in CA only because state law requires it) - since every sale costs his company $14,000.


You already know, or can guess, what car company likes the CA policy. Yup, Tesla.
