Washington state plans to ban most non-electric vehicles by 2030

[1srelluc]

Washington state plans to ban most non-electric vehicles by 2030, according to a newly signed bill by Gov. Jay Inslee.

The bill says that all vehicles of the model year 2030 or later that are sold, purchased, or registered in the state must be electric.

"On or before December 31, 2023, the interagency electric vehicle coordinating council ... shall complete a scoping plan for achieving the 2030 target," it reads.

The bill covers a lot of transportation issues in the state and is a part of a larger $16.9 billion transportation package called “Move Ahead Washington," which Inslee described as a way to create more efficient transportation options.

"Transportation is our state’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. There is no way to talk about climate change without talking about transportation," Inslee said. "This package will move us away from the transportation system our grandparents imagined and towards the transportation system our grandchildren dream of."

My Gawd, what a bunch of tards.....There's a damn good reason a U-Haul is near 5K to get out of that state.

I suppose the great state will subsidize people to be able to afford the prices of an EV in 2030?

 

[JGalt]

Idiots. Are they going to buy every low-income person a $50,000 EV, or just make them walk to work?

As Virginians we should be thanking WA for being the guinea pigs for this. If it works, the rest of us will follow. If it fails, we all learn something at WA's expense.

Thanks Washington.

It will be amusing to watch the serfs revolt as they begin to starve.

Stupid is never trying something new assuming what is now will always be. I don't know if WA will succeed or not, no one does, but I do know we'll all have learned something made some progress regardless.

By 2030 EV's are going to be $100k at the LOWEST price.

They will fail because the power grid won't be able to support that many electric vehicles.

Thats fine for government vehicles, I think all government and public service vehicles should be made electric.
That doesn't mean they have the right to tell other people what they can and cannot buy/drive for their own personal vehicles. I don't want no freeking Barbie car!!! For one major point, I'm TOO ******* TALL FOR THEM!

True

The state would have to spend a few BILLION dollars to bolster and create backups for the entire electrical grid for the whole state, which also means making electrical charging stations as common as gas stations.

Do you REALLY think the state is going to part with THAT much money???

Negative, since when does it matter if something the dems dream-up works or not?.....You know, like anti-2A legislation, bail reform, "shovel ready" and a host of other failed dem policies.

But yet they will fall all over themselves to do it anyway when they get in charge just like they did when they held sway in Richmond for a brief but damaging time. Had it not been for a couple of semi-blue dog dems we would have been tee-totally fucked.

Dems are true enemies of the Republic and of our Commonwealth.

Stupid is shutting off your electricity while demanding electric vehicles

An obvious issue they know they will have to deal with.

Not when the other states have to subsidize their ass. What's gonna happen when the WA power grid is overloaded? Other states are going to have to redirect some of their power to them.

The Democrats want to force people to walk and take public transportation.
BTW, public transportation is a crime magnet, so that will help the Corrupt Democrat Party's criminal voter base victimize more people.
