California's mandate that by 2035,
This will cause electric outages in Calif. because of this: There is not enough electric generating plants today to generate the additional:
FACTS:
1) A regular truck average miles per truck/ year: 84.433 source: How Many Miles Do Truckers Drive a Year?
2) Average EV truck uses 4.3 kWh per mile.https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1342660
3) This means an average EV truck will require in one year. 19,636 kWh (84,433/4.3 kWh/mile)
4) California has 15.9 million trucks..https://www.statista.com/statistics/191023/registered-private-and-commercial-trucks-in-the-us-by-state/
5) If half or 7,950,000 trucks each use 19,636 kWh that is an additional 156,106,200,000 kWh on Calif. electric generation.
6) In 2019, total generation for California was 277,704,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh)
7) As of 2018, California had 80 GW of installed generation capacity encompassing more than 1,500 power plants; with
41 GW of natural gas, 26.5 GW of renewable (12 GW solar, 6 GW wind), 12 GW large hydroelectric, and 2.4 GW nuclear.
8) Average electricity generated per plant: 185,136,000 kWh
9) Number of power plants needed to generate the additional 156,106,200,000 kWh by trucks: 843 new electric power plants needed.
10)This accounted for 68% of CA's demand in 2018; the remaining 32% was imported. Energy in California - Wikipedia
Folks this is Calif, the leading innovation state and soon all the other states will adopt these mandates... now I'm going to shout....
THEY DON'T COMPREHEND THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY THAT WILL BE REQUIRED!
- 55% of delivery vans and small trucks,
- 75% of buses and larger trucks, and
- 40% of tractor-trailers and other big rigs sold in the state would have to be all-electric.”
