Yeah seems going electric just shifts things but maybe they are also hoping the tech and cheaper happens by then. Seems like right now they’d be pushing out the middle and lower class people even more, making California some elite state only for rich people. Like for example mandating solar on new homes seem noble on paper but makes things cost more when housing is already expensive.
The extraction of Rare Earth ,and Electricity coming mostly from Coal in US don’t make them any cleaner than Gas Vehicle.
Hence you can buy your non-ev outside of California and come back with it few minutes later ...
This is pure communication , there is no real intention to actually address climate change.
Hence , we are doing far worse than every GIEC model and most countries do not respect COP21 agreement....
