IMO 13 years is not a long enough timeframe for charging infrastructure to ramp up, EV production to grow, and affordable EVs to be developed. Double the timeframe and I'd be more optimistic. I'd love to be proved wrong though.
I wonder if they will ban registration of ICE cars purchased in other states. Used ICE car values could go through the roof. Many will just have to indefinitely maintain the cars they currently have.
Lower-income folks will get screwed the hardest, when they get priced out of buying cars that are practical for their needs. Homeowners with garages have places to charge overnight, but it's bad for renters or those without garages who would have to waste time at charging stations regularly.
Will this apply to semi trucks or others who tow for business?
Haven't heard details on any of this. It seems like they're just assuming if they push this out then everyone else will figure out the details.
