Ev plan has higher peak rates but drops down to $.11/kWh from midnight to 6. I charge my car then.

CA won’t let you register it.
Leaving California was easy and gets easier when I see crap like this…get ready for a lithium battery apocalypse.
California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars
California regulators on Thursday will vote to put in place a sweeping plan to restrict and ultimately ban the sale of gasoline-powered cars, state officials said, a move that the state’s governor described as the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine. The new policy, detailed...news.google.com
Keep digging, Sacramento. You'll find what you deserve.
.
And in reality there will be very few left in production anyway.
There will still be used car available in CA however.
An EV plan is a "premium-mediocre" benefit/handout to the midwit managerial class who can't otherwise afford the top-tier energy rates they use to charge their EVs.
Much of your rate depends on your usage since there are 3 tiers. If you run your A/C and other stuff, you're quickly in the top tier where you pay $.40/kWh in the summer. There was an article on the local news where SDGE had automatically-enrolled a lot of people in some other power-buying plan that doubled their rates from that.
At any rate, i have solar, don't run my A/C and don't have an EV so I pay very little or often get a rebate. However, I've found that the power generation capacity has been continually going down and they're always re-jiggering rates and peak usage hours in a "heads they win/tails you lose" whether you have solar or use a lot of power.
…and can never get fired or be held accountable for the “unintended” consequences of their rules.
Unelected, unnamed, unaccountable.
Is there a source for that? What if someone moves from Nevada to CA and they drive a new gas vehicle?
Like someone said above, though, majority of new cars will probably be electric anyway.
I looked at CARB's website yesterday and it's obviously a religious cult. They were awarding "luminaries" in climate science, for example - oracles or priests. Cults can continue to exist as long as they don't get too badly athwart reality, but most end grimly. That's what's going to happen here. The current electrical generation capacity, lack of public transportation (or power to run it), cost of new EVs, and their SWaP and range don't pencil-out into a replacement for ICEs. The CARB cult can say whatever WEF-aligning thing it wants for now but costs are already skyrocketing for normies who don't have $30-40k + $300/month to pay for the latest premium-mediocre managerial status symbol. Ironically, all this seems to be hastening the collapse of neoliberal managerial capitalism. The midwit managerial class can't afford their own symbols without handouts and are pushing austerity on the lower classes who mostly already have it and are barely hanging on.
BTW, ex-Western countries see what's happening to the West and are pivoting away from the arrangements of the post-WWII era.

I’ve been dealing with CARB almost daily for 20 years.
They actually were on balance a pretty good group of people doing good work.
Then around 2008-2009 they switched focus from air pollution to Climatechangeism and have since gone off the rails. In many cases their obsession with co2 has work against the original goal of reducing air pollution.
Their stance on natural gas and thermal oxidizers are just two examples.
Bingo
Also look how many controls and "driving aids" are built into these cars. Hell, Teslas do OTA updates unknowingly
People don't think those are to help them, do they?
This is the same reason why the Globalists have such a boner for trains, mobility is freedom, mobility is self-sufficiency
These "driving aids" pigeonhole people to turn their instincts and situational awareness off and carry those habits into their daily lives. Heroin addicts are less on the nod.
Just make Faraday cages out of every car with only ability to call 911.
Just curious, what do you think the updates are doing? Are they like the microwave ovens spying on us?
I would love to have a blind spot alert and back up camerain my 1985 VW . Maybe emergency braking too.
Psst, if you turn your ac off from 4-9 you’re good. I mean for me there are like 3 weeks a year we run the ac anyway. And my car charging for a month costs about the same as a tank of gas.
Its what they can doJust curious, what do you think the updates are doing? Are they like the microwave ovens spying on us?

These aids are much more than blind spot alert and back up cameras. Which, by the way you can retrofit into your VW very easily
