Well yeah, most people buy used cars. But a used ev of a given year is likely to be in a similar price range as a comparable gas engine car. The question is, is there sufficient availability of used electric cars? From the sound of it, there will be in CA by 2035. Certainly, if everyone buying new cars is buying electric, then the number is used EVs available will skyrocket.
And either way, I'm sure this regulation is about new cars, nobody is going to stop you from buying a used 2025 civic in 2035, that's fine. I mean the car already exists, it would be environmentally negligent to replace it as long as it still runs. You just can't buy a new ice car after that.
I'm curious though, does this regulation ban hybrids?
This is what I meant, cars already in circulation having longer lives. I frankly don't know anything about used EVs, but plenty of people I know can list reliable gas powered cars that will run for incredibly long times with a little love. We need EVs to be manageable cars of the people that can be maintained at home on a budget and not proprietary dealerships.
It wasn't my aim to discredit the bill, only to complain that Musk is useless and will line his pockets before actually creating something that is useful for the public.
But the thing is, you'll also be able to buy a 2025 Tesla in 2035, and the price probably won't be far off from the civic. In other words, there's no problem here.
Except Honda and those Civics have established a reputation of running forever. Tesla cannot claim the same.
So the taxi duty Teslas with 1,000,000+ miles don't count?
Which one is that? The one you made up or the one that was famous for it and needing the drive motor replaced over a dozen times?
