California currently has an executive order calling for all cars sold after 2035 to be zero emission. That really isn't that far off! Of course, it is pretty warm in CA which makes it easier on batteries and they could always push it back but I think that's a bold plan. My hubby does research in the area and tells me that all the major car manufacturers have set dates by which they have said they will go zero emission. GM by 2040. But, yes, they have to solve the distance and charging issues. It's really unclear how people in apartment buildings, for instance, would charge their cars.
Anyhow, I hope they can eventually figure it out because I LOVED how clean the air was during the pandemic when there were a lot lower car emissions.
