New York to ban sale of all gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035

New York to ban sale of all gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035

The new law follows a similar one passed in California last year.

I like what they did in Norway (or Sweden). 100% tax on all ice vehicles. That is high to start with, but we could start at 25% and go up 5% per year. Also gas tax should be much higher.

Gas tax, no. Such are generally regressive. Not until there is coast to coast carbon-free infrastructure.

And when electric vehicles become affordable for the general public with used vehicles available . I haven’t bought a brand new vehicle since 2000 lol. And yes the infrastructure including the grid will need an upgrade, well here it will

Frankly I’m hoping for hydrogen. Something practical for the trucking industry.

Yeah no. Fuck battery swaps.

 

[Budley Doright]

Yeah no. Fuck battery swaps.

I’m thinking in 15 years they’ll have solved that ..... well hoping lol.

After reading that Starship needs at least 8 refuel launches per jaunt outside low orbit, I’m keeping an eye on that merchant of cotton candy Musk.

Tesla batteries are rechargeable....

 

[CatHedral]

Tesla batteries are rechargeable....

very slowly if you care if they last. Fuel-based tech is inherently more flexible.

I believe we have already tried the hydrogen experiment...

It was good tech for the time and has zero bearing on the current topic.

Most have given up on hydrogen as a viable auto energy source but there does seem to be a market for large vehicles. I’m just looking at a few battery manufacturers re a small stock purchase. There’s a few that have not gone public yet that are showing promise.

It seems like Tesla is much hype. All they have is prototypes and artists renditions but nothing in production as their production dates keep getting pushed back. It looks like everyone has either caught up to or passed Tesla.

Freightliner already has electric semi trucks in production. So does Volvo with some already on the road in commercial use.

Ford also has an electric F-150 that will begin delivery within the year.

All Tesla is doing is taking reservations and holding press conferences promising the moon and the stars but never delivering on those promises.

Tesla might have had the lead with electric years ago but that lead has evaporated. Tesla is not the leader. They're just another player.

What hydrogen has that batteries do not is quick refueling. For major transport ( trucks, trains, ships) that is a big plus.

I think smoking was allowed in the cabin, too.

They had a smoking lounge.

Tesla truck factory in Texas is almost complete....Tesla trucks coming soon

Man...the 85kwh pack weighs 1200lbs, what will the 200kwh pack in the truck weigh??

The cars already weigh as much as a Chevy Suburban.
