Gov. Newsom’s EV Mandate Set To Fail As Sales Lag, Power Shortages Persist
by Joel B. Pollak Dec 12, 2024
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate is set to fail, as sales of EVs even in his deep-blue state lag far behind the level necessary to reach 100% of the passenger vehicle market by 2035, as he decreed in 2020. [emphasis, links added]
As Breitbart News reported, California experienced an electricity crisis in early September 2020 when there was an acute shortage of power during a heat wave.
Newsom told the state that it needed to “sober up” about green energy.
Nevertheless, just a few weeks later, in late September 2020, Newsom announced that he wanted to ban the sale of gasoline-powered passenger vehicles by 2035. In 2022, the state finalized the regulations for the gas vehicle ban.
