Electric Mandates Have California Truckers Charging Overtime - WSJ

Electric Mandates Have California Truckers Charging Overtime - WSJ

Not thinking that this scenario was the intended outcome, but then again, CA govt was a bulb that has never lit up to be seen.

Not sure which link will work, or if either link will work for everyone, posted with no guarantee of visibility. This was a link which I clicked on and was visible to me and i read, and I was not logged into the WSJ, so apologies if it doesn't work for you. . has to be a disclaimer as someone turned me in for a link which was behind a paywall for them, but not for me and I don't know why i could see it and they couldn't, even when not being logged into the site. I will copy and paste the article if requested if the link doesn't work

Not sure why anyone would by an EV?

"........and their off!" :crap2:

California is in great shape. The budget deficit will only be $68 Billion.:):)

Because they have better tech and are more fun to drive than any corvette!

Philadelphia Owns 261 EVs but Only 107 Chargers… This leaves about 150 city EVs with no dedicated place to recharge, and many of them are competing with other city EVs or consumers for places to connect. The local NBC news affiliate found that many of the city chargers are located in fleet shops, police districts, and prisons, where they are not accessible to other city EVs. To make it worse, the Licenses and Inspections (LI) Department reported that none of the city’s EV charging stations obtained the required electric permits before they were installed. The LI Department has ticketed at least 46 of the 57 city charging sites. The LI Department has 115 EVs, the most of any department, but none of the city’s charging stations are at the department’s office buildings or parking lots.

The deputy director of energy services, who oversees Philadelphia’s EVs and charging stations, thinks there was some confusion about the need for permits. It’s funny until you consider that the city is writing violation tickets, which eventually will be paid by the offending departments with taxpayer funds.

And Climbing
 

And climbing, that’s why they are trying to impose an exit tax on all its residents that are moving or have moved out of the state.

interesting read. Thanks

For 100 miles. :)

Neither linked worked for me, but this one is good if you want to
read the whole article

The problem isn't EVs, it's mandates and the unintended consequences that result. EVs are great if you have your own garage to charge in overnight, and don't drive more than 150 miles in an average day. Whoever thought this was a good idea for semi-trailers wasn't thinking it thru. "Facts don't care about your feelings" applies.

IMO problem is all these permits that’s required on any upgraded or replacement.

Try 250-325 +. Get facts before you discuss something you know nothing about. It’s embarrassing.

Not in zero temperatures or driving like corvette drivers do.:pepper2:

Yep. Again, it's not EVs, it's mandates and unintended consequences.

Those left coast idiots have no common sense. When is the big one going to dump them all in the Pacific Ocean?
