This should be interesting. We don’t have the power grid to support this. Plus folks that have to travel a lot. Hmmm. And winter time when the power goes out, especially in rural areas(which is a lot of Vermont), folks won’t be able to get out. Probably more planning and thinking about where the materials for all these batteries come from. Think!!!!
Rest assured, similar to the political elites that banned intermingling and required masks during Covid and were caught in restaurants and partying maskless the elites will have an exemption like what will be available for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.
This will fizzle out, as it is nothing more than virtue signaling. We simply won’t have the infrastructure to support this.
Another feel-good, virtue signaling initiative by the Vermont Legislature’s Committee on Wishful Thinking…the one that brought us “90% renewable heating and transportation by 2020″…
Has the state figured out a way toput out lithium battery fires? I understand such fires require thousands and thousands of gallons of water.
I dont mean to let reality get in the way of idealism but my question is: will people of the middle class have the means to safely, conveniently and reliably fuel our cars by the time the mandate rolls around? Henry Ford had the initiative to manufacture cars that were affordable for most people, including those who worked for him actually producing the vehicles. He did so only AFTER the infrastructure for fueling them was well established. Will this be the case in 2035, or will motorized personal transportation go back to being a luxury, affordable only by the wealthy? Do most people ponder questions like this when we vote in Vermont?
