Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to California Tailpipe Emissions Limits
The justices agreed to decide whether industry groups have suffered the sort of injury that gave them standing to sue over an unusual waiver.

That’s a pretty major thing and I don’t think the state should be able to ban people from buying a gas vehicle.
It’s also a less good idea than people want to believe. Current gen batteries are still too heavy and eat through tires and other car parts too quickly. Plus the batteries need replaced after about 15 years and they’re still way too expensive to replace.
Tenth amendment is fairly clear on that one, one would think-
Unless I missed something about cars in the constitution, of course. Interstate travel falls under the purview of the fed, but requiring gas cars for it doesn’t really hold weight. I suppose we could look at the transition from horse to car and see how that played out legally though.
You seemed to have missed the Civil War, not justifying Slavery but that was the point that the Country decided that the federal government can overrule state rule if they don’t like it. No matter what the paperwork says the government always has final say by threat of invasion.
I’m not talking anything of “well, technically this is aloud because of this” yadda yadda yadda. That’s irrelevant. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do something.
I’m saying you shouldn’t do it. Did you know that over 25% of the cars on the roads today are over 15 years old? Do you have any idea what it will do to people who have to drive these older vehicles, because they can’t afford newer ones, if in the future they have batteries that go out and will cost 4x more to fix than what they paid for the vehicle to begin with? The loads of people who will always have to pay a premium price to charge up because they can only afford to live at an apartment instead of a house with a garage?
Do you know how dirt cheap a working engine is, compared to an ev battery? That a small car engine swap can be done at home or in your buddy’s garage, because they don’t weigh over 1,000 pounds like a battery can?
Going EV required is a great idea! So long as you’re more wealthy than half the country is. For them, you’re going to make life even harder in the future. Requiring EV on new cars means that 10 years later the people who rely on cheap used vehicles are going to start getting screwed. All for one state to have slightly lower emissions in one category.
That’s entirely the point. You said they shouldn’t be allowed to. They can.
It’s entirely relevant because that’s the point of your previous post where you said “the state shouldn’t be allowed to do this.”
I never wavered from my point. They shouldn’t be allowed to.
Here we go again, banging on about false battery facts you and I have proven, together, to be false.
You couldn’t even define what a discharge cycle was.
My battery facts are quite factual. Also, I was never not able to define what a cycle is. It’s a fully charged, to fully discharged (without dropping below damaging voltage amount) battery. Something no ev battery ever does because they don’t ever charge to 100% capacity or go down to 0% capacity.
Sigh Cole. I don’t even give a shit anymore, I’m just sad that you complain about an alternative technology which does have problems like any, but not open to lots of evidence that it’s good.
I think I remember you complain a lot about not being able to change batteries and stuff, I linked some vids of a guy doing it himself at home using jacks and wood blocks. Then it was something else, else else…
Can you have an honest discussion? I get you like ICE,y motorcycle still is, and I’ve done everything from hone cylinders to modify valve clearance. At what point will EVs stop being evil to you? We have battery recycling on the way, had a job offer from redwood materials. They’re doing good shit and obviating the need to mine.
I like how much mindspace I take up in your head. I’ve never even bothered to look at your username beyond a cursory glance that I never bother to remember.
They aren’t “evil” they just aren’t good enough for a large chunk of the US population. Why do you think they still have such a tiny market share after being around for over a decade? Even new car sales. They’re not ready, yet. If major repairs are way more expensive, the electricity is often not much cheaper than gasoline for many, and tires wear out much quicker; all while being more expensive to buy, it’s a poor option. Hybrids are the way to go for the next many years in the US. It’s a far better choice for most people.
I just have a mediocre memory? Not much getting taken up honestly. I feel for you??
And you’d rather have two drivetrains under one hood??? So much for a focus on reliable simplicity.
Batteries are light and easily replaceable. Also leaves the gas motor not work very hard so they last for ages without issue. Weight is only 100 pounds or so over a traditional gas vehicle so tires last much longer than an ev. I have a 16 year old prius with over 260,000 miles on it. Still runs like brand new.
Hybrids have more parts that could go wrong, but no parts cost 1/3 of what an EV battery costs, and I never have to worry about finding an outlet and blowing 30 minutes to an hour while it charges.
Lmao the Prius power transfer case certainly does cost a bit, about 2/3 the cost of a battery new. Anyway, no facts visible from your side of the discussion, so once again I guess you’ve shown your lack of knowledge.
I’ll be buying an EV, if I have to buy a car at all, and I’ll enjoy the hell out of it. “Blowing” 30minutes is fine, I don’t drive more than 200mi at a time without a break.
Lol. Unlike an EV battery that’s guaranteed to fail, those transfer cases almost never fail, and when they do, it’s because it went 300,000 miles without the fluid ever being changed. You’re a joke. Plus, now I know you’re a joke that doesn’t know anything about vehicles. You don’t even own one.
