So far, a quiet season in the Atlantic.  I know, it can change on a dime.

Let’s test AI. On August 2nd the Artificial Intelligence version of the European Model is showing a Major Hurricane hitting South Florida August 15th, 2025. We’ll come back to it then.

Maybe this belongs in the electric vehicle thread?

2035 is the target for most. I just can't see that happening.

Also, what do you do about people who live in two places? Lots of people I know spend 6 or more months here and then go elsewhere for the rest of the year. If they have a gasser, would they be allowed to drive in New Jersey? Will there be gas stations still?

Most of these restrictions ban the sale of new gas vehicles in the state, past a certain date. The idea is a gradual phaseout because eventually those gassers will become too old to maintain and find their way to the junkyard.

I've not seen one that bans them from the road. You can still drive your gasser. You can still sell/buy a used gasser. As long as there are enough gassers around to justify a gas station as a viable/profitable business, gas stations will still be there (although over time, they might become harder and harder to find).

I believe states like CA already have restrictions on registering vehicles from out of state below a certain mileage--7500 miles--unless they're "50 state emissions" versions. This is to make sure people don't circumvent CA environmental restrictions by buying a new vehicle elsewhere. I haven't looked into it, but my guess will be that the gas car sale bans will have identical wording, such that you can't cross the border into NV or AZ, buy a gasser, drive it right back to CA and register it after the EV ban takes effect. But if you're moving into CA from elsewhere and own a 50K mile gasser, you can still register it.

(Note: do not take any of the above as an endorsement, by me, of these policies; just trying to explain.)

From that article, it seems to me that most of the states are adopting California's policy on this.

I'm rather surprised to not see Illinois on that list.

  Hope they aren't depending on the tourist dollar then or freight lines moving commerce in and out.Specially these Northern-Eastern lib states.I'm sure if THE GOV gets stuck on a highway during a snow storm in his eletric for a a day or two he won't freeze his cajones off. PA sticks out though thought they'd be more practical,going up and down those hills you'll still need those fossil fuel belching beasts to clear the snow away.

 And the infrastructure grid - who is going to not only get all of that done in time who is paying for it.We've lost power for 3 days here and that's w/o hardly any charging stations to speak of.This country is so far out from meeting the the charging requiements of the gov't hair brained schemes,they'd have to tell the Defense Contactors to fack off we have other pressing needs - and that's not happening
