MSgt Dale Johnson - If they can get the costs down, then tech will proliferate quickly -- The appetite for EVs is there, just make it inexpensive and convenient to the masses

CSM Chuck Stafford - First we need the infrastructure to be able to support the charging of all these vehicles. We are nowhere near that yet.

But only a decade to completely phase out leaded gas engines.
Remember, we aren't replacing cars. We don't need new roads or new laws. We *will* need the infrastructure (primarily charging stations).

You just condemned 30% of your population CA. Most retirees cannot afford an EV, can't really afford a used gas powered vehicle either.
Wipe out another segment of heavy labor, constructionists, farmers, who depend on heavy diesel equipment and trucks - like the 250/2500 up though the 650/6500. EV trucks hauling a trailer have a max range of about 60 miles.
