California's New Vehicle Engine Rules and RVs

Above, well, at least it's a Jeep.

The lunacy that dominates many state governments in voting to phase out gasoline vehicles to deal with climate change is running rampant, predominantly in blue (or Democrat) states. Welcome to the new socialism!

California's unelected California Air Enforcement Board has enacted new rules that will ban the sale of new gas-fueled vehicles by 2035. That's only 13 years away, folks. The only way to stop this craziness is to vote out every damn Democrat!

RV Travel takes a look at how this affects RVs.

They begin with:

Earlier this week, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) enacted new rules with huge implications. Come 2035, with few exceptions, only new “zero emissions” cars and pickups can be sold in the Golden State. That will include many Class C motorhomes. It’s expected that another 15 states will follow California’s lead.

By 2045, most Class A motorhome sales will see the same fate. The only “gas burning” engine vehicles exempted from the ban will be “plug-in hybrid” units that will still be allowed under the 2035 ban. What will happen to RVers? What about other related services that could have a deep impact under the new regulations?

As for my own state of New Mexico, the lunacy is as follows:

• New Mexico: Last month the state’s Clean Car Rule became the standard. The state will start phasing out gas engine powered cars, trucks, and SUVs in 2026.

That's only four years away! New Mexico is not a rich state. There's a lot of poverty here. How are people going to afford electric vehicles, especially those in tribes? For starters (pardon the pun), how are people going to afford to replace EV batteries? 

Here's an example (and this is for a current hybrid vehicle):

We can start fighting against this insanity by voting out Michelle Lujan Grisham and every Democrat legislator in November!
