Good morning.
I am concerned with the new rules
regarding the sale of gas cars. If have you considered how long it
takes to drive from L.A. to San Jose for an electric vehicle? With
gas it is approximately 5-7 hrs depending on destination when going
south. In an electric car one must add another 2 hours at least.
There is no electric car that can make that trip without
recharging. By requiring CA citizens to only buy electric, you will
be forcing people to not travel keeping them in their part of the
state.
I am a lifelong CA resident and a traveler. You
will be forcing me to not travel with my trailer. There is not and
best that I can tell no electric truck that can pull a trailer more
than 100 miles at a time being manufactured or even on track to
being manufactured. This new regulations will keep people from
seeing this beautiful state. How do you propose for us to go
camping in our forests and parks.
I understand that we
need to do better on emissions but throwing out both the baby and
the bath water is not the answer.
What is the proposal
for law enforcement cars? If CHP can't buy gas cars in CA then how
will they afford to buy from out of state? That is a burden on the
taxpayers. Also, if they have to drive electric then how do you
suppose officers are supposed to drive hundreds of miles a day and
be ready to be available if they are having to recharge. This is
also an additional burden on the law enforcement agencies. This
would force agencies to need more officers available to cover when
a car is charging. More burden on cities and taxpayers.
I think choice and education is better for all.
