They also need to abolish PGE. The price of electrify is going to match the cost of cost in a couple years at this rate.
Totally PG&E is most corrupt and when they were in their bankruptcy should have been the time that the state took advantage and gutted them. It's like 40 years of neglect and taking in massive profits, and now they pass the bill onto us. It's crazy to think you have so many other states with less densely populated areas with just as crazy geography having electric rates that are so much lower because they just kept up with it. Washington just announced a rate decrease, electricity is one of those things that should have gotten cheaper over time as our technology and efficiencies improve.
were trading our EV to go back to gas, the price of electricity cost as much as gasoline, this was their plan all along, i'll look at EV's when i move out of state in a few more years
With retail theft rampant, won't thieves steal copper in the charging stations?
Bingo! Gas stations have Cashiers that can watch over things. Many EV Chargers are out in the edge of things with no one overseeing. Newsom is advertising FREE COPPER and other pricey electronics. When are you going to FIX the legal system that offers more protection to LAW BREAKERS than law followers.
Hasn't been a problem so far.
how will they steal with live power? have fun cutting the insulation on those fast chargers 💀
And, the price and time to charge an EV is close to matching or exceed the cost of gasoline. With increase in demand and PGE quarterly rate hikes, it will surpass gasoline rate in no time without public sector interventions.
No thanks! You couldn't give me a Tesla! How many years have they been making those things? They all look the same!!! Every time you pull up to an intersection your surrounded by those ugly things! I'd take a vintage Porsche anyday!
They haven't been making them for a very long time but they're just selling a crap ton of them because guess what people seem to really like them.
@paramveerdhoot6415 funny I hear sales are down? They all look the same! Boring!
911 have looked basically the same
@@thomasricksmith8171Sales aren't down. Simple research will help you. Theres a reason it was the #1 best selling car in the world in 2023, not EV, but car altogether
newsom, how about pressuring CPUC to do their job and keep electric prices down? these chargers are useless if it's cheaper to run gasoline than to use electricity.
how bout stop voting blue, and vote by candidates.. newsom is a known crook. french laundry was the smoking gun and people vote against the recall. enjoy those pg&e rate hikes, since its better than mean tweets right
Of course our power grid can totally handle it
Yup we generate 115 percent of total demand during last year and we are just adding more to the capacity. It’s totally doable if we get more HVDc transmission lines(currently being done)
Actually, the power grid is growing fast enough to handle the transition. California has so much excess power right now that the spot market for electricity goes into negative cost everyday.
@@portcybertryx222 Last year, when we had the rolling blackouts, or before that?
@@harmonk8012 Rolling blackouts are a technique used to avoid blackouts in a larger area. They are rare, and people are informed ahead of time when they are used. On the worst day of the summer two years ago, the grid operator sent out a statewide alarm telling people to curtail all energy use for the next few hours, and within minutes, the grid shed several megawatts of demand. Folks turned off lights, AC units, and unplugged chargers. No blackout accused, and after the sun went down, things got back to normal.
In addition to the infrastructure, can we also start talking about dependence on lithium, how lithium is extracted, impact of lithium extraction on native environments and what happens to old batteries… just few other things we need to be talking about but we don’t. And I’m an early EV adopter. I wish I knew about all these problems with EVs before I bought mine.
you have to take the good with the bad, do we keep running with gasoline or do we switch to lithium, the problem is that there no technology at the moment that can match the power density of lithium, of course we can use other chemistry, but they would be a size of a modern dump truck.
While there is a small amount of harm caused by mining elements for batteries, that harm is minuscule compared to the harm from extracting oil, shipping it to refineries, refining it into gasoline, distributing it to gas stations in diesel-burning trucks, and then burning the gas in a car. More importantly, EV batteries are easily recycled, and the biggest company doing that, Redwood Materials, reports recovery of up to 98% of those elements for reuse in new batteries.
Not so good for Tesla owners.
It's not all the Tesla chargers, It's only the ones that are not that busy that they opened up to everyone else. So there's some exclusive tesla chargers still.
California is getting something right.
They need to keep these battery cars far from our children. It’s just unsafe
@@josephlandry8787 lie
@josephlandry8787 I know. They might stick their little fingers in the plug in part.
@@jlk630 kids will play with them because their toy cars have batteries
@@documax123 yes. Toy cars have batteries so children will think they are safe to play with them.
To bad Tesla fired their supercharger team
How is this exactly ‘adding’ when they’re only bragging about the already existing Tesla chargers only now opened to other vehicles? I thought they’d be talking of massive new locations added for charging EVs all over the place to spread out the charging and reduce range anxiety. This will only increase wait time for the people at the Tesla locations. I bet Tesla owners are mad to share the chargers when people pull up in much cheaper EVs. 😂
Yea and what powers the charging station? Solar or hydro or natural gas or nuclear or diesel? We are not going to be told this.
The state still hasn’t addressed the fact that the cost of evs are too expensive for the majority of California residents and that the majority don’t want them.
Also who’s going to pay for the loss gas revenue that pays for highway maintenance?
You can get a used Chevy Bolt for about 15K right now, you can get a model 3 for about 25k, EVs were the best selling cars in California, and they pay higher registration taxes to make up for the difference in road maintenance taxes through gasoline.
Avg EV prices are less than 5% higher than the average gasoline powered car. When you take into account tax credits, they're cheaper than gasoline powered cars.
You can lease a Model 3 for less than a Corolla. Model 3 is literally the best car in the world. Corolla is a cheap Toyota econobox.
Yes, let’s get more reliant on PGE. That way they can shut off our power anytime they want.
PG&E totally sucks.
Electricity in California comes from burning natural gas, and out of state coal plants. EV's are more polluting than ICE cars, when you factor in the up front pollution that goes into the manufacture of EVs. Not too clean.
In 2023 over 50% of California's electricity was generated by renewable resources. On top of that, electric vehicles are cleaner than gasoline powered vehicles, even if you are using 100% natural gas to power them. It's a little thing we like to call science.
What about cost?? its costing more to charge than gas vehicles. Instead of showing off tesla supercharger they need to work on bringing electric cost down.
Now you're seeing their plan.
exactly newsom, pge, and CPUC plan, more dependency on electric the higher they can raise the rate without any completion.
It's readily available. Public information that charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than driving a gasoline car.
I installed solar in 2002 and bought my first EV the same year. The money I saved not buying gasoline and electricity paid for the solar in 2010. Since then, and for the rest of my life, I get to power my home, cars, and motorcycles on clean solar energy - for free. Average American spends $2,000/year for gas and electricity. I spend nothing.
@@sunpwrd just wait til they start taxing solar usage. It's coming
Perfect for the convenience of the rich EV owners. The poor should be given free EVs with free charging.
Right now you can get an EV for about $15,000. Chevy bolts are being sold by Hertz with only 12,000 mi at around $19,000. When you take into account the $4,000 tax credit for used cars it's actually pretty inexpensive to get an EV right now.
I have 19,151 shares of ChargePoint
Ouch. That stock is down 97% from all time highs.
ChargePoint stock is at $1.25 now... just buy Tesla stock.
Nobody drives ev's
28% of new cars sold in California where electric vehicles in 2023. 😊
@@therabidsquirrelsage3388 so 72% were gas powered. More than 3-1 in favor of gas.
@@middleguy1776 so your original comment that nobody drives EVs was just false. Thanks for agreeing with me.
@@therabidsquirrelsage3388 less than 30% is nobody
@@middleguy1776 I'm going submit that comment for the world's dullest tool contest.
Anyone realize battery replacement on a Tesla is about 20,000 ? Yeah I'd replace the battery on a car with 100,000 miles???😅 not me! Tesla cars are sooo boring! Not even a nice body style! U sure don't what one to hit u! Think they weigh as much as an 18 wheeler!😅 vintage Porsche much more attractive!
We need laws to ban these battery cars from 2 mile radius from any middle and elementary schools.
Imagine paying $2 a gallon more than the rest of America and still voting blue.
imagine voting for an orange draft dodging traitor
@@jlk630 are we pretending the world wasn’t a better place under Trump?
Imagine being clueless enough to think the price of gasoline is set by politicians.
@@giftedgreen2152imagine thinking that losing 7 million jobs is a good economy.
@@therabidsquirrelsage3388 face it, you’ve been indoctrinated, your perceptual ability is gone.
They can keep that liberal soyboy EV energy in California.
A Tesla will blow the doors off any gas car you can get
Imagine packing this much identity politics into a car. Americans are so unhinged.
@@AshGreen359 why do you support a fascist?
@@AshGreen359I know they do, still not enjoyable. We can keep both gas/hybrid and electric cars without that green new deal push on evs.
I don't know why EVs just get so much hate they're actually pretty badass. I drive a Tesla and a RAM 1500... They both serve their respective purposes really well. No need to hate.
