We often hear politicians say "all vehicles in California should go electric." Many people too parrot this w/o much thought.

I agree that EVs drawing power from clean sources should be a major part of our future.

How realistic is it that ALL vehicles will go electric?

(Thread) There are 26 million registered cars in California. dmv.ca.gov/portal/uploads…

According to the same DMV statistics, that number (unfortunately!) increases by ~1.7% per year.

So let's say there will be about ~29m cars in CA by 2030.

This is a thread about bureaucracy in the city of Los Angeles. In 2006-2007, there were some very high-profile car crashes in a quiet residential neighborhood. Death; destruction. Cars crashing into houses because of excessive speed on small, two-lane residential street. @lacbc @hoffbeatenpath
