Wonder how those electric cars and trucks will get around after they outlaw ICE ones. Today on the 5 in Cali:

What's the full charge time on one of those big boys?

In the summer they won't be able to charge them until after peak power usage overnight.

As it is now CA is asking power customers not to charge their EVs over this long weekend.https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/c...ng-flex-alert/

Saw an article about Virginia the other day. Couple years ago they passed a law saying they would mirror whatever Cali does regarding gasoline engines... Now that Cali is going to ban them altogether they're freaking out and talking about repealing that law Dumb asses.

I don't know but I have to believe those are for local delivery. I used to send trucks from the Bay area to Sacramento, Fresno, Redding and everywhere in between and depending on how many stops and time to unload (hand loads no forklifts) my drivers would often run out of hours (10 max). Nothing I've seen EV could handle that without charging
