Keep guessing! Refueling ICEs in the very early days was done by buying gasoline in one gallon containers from a hardware store. Lead, follow or get out of the way. California chooses to lead.
Good example of how CA leads

Name calling... check!
Complaining about "freedom" when one party isn't trying to change our history... check!
Bringing in a racial component... check!
The Party is strong in this one! Just a word of caution, if you never change the channel, that MSNBC graphic will eventually burn an image into your TV screen!

And this study also looks at all of the western states and says so several times. Our grid in the U.S. has been on life support for decades, just look at what happened in Texas. That wasn't due to EV charging.

This date is only mandated IF the infrastructure can handle it AND the technology allows for it.
The actual mandate is to encourage technological advances in the EV arena. If that doesn't happen, then the mandate doesn't take effect.

They lead with the with the cart before the horse. Mandate electric cars by 2035, but donโt have the electrical grid capacity to support it. Can they build it up that soon, only time will tell.
Today, California has excess electricity during late mornings and early afternoons, thanks mainly to its solar capacity. If most EVs were to charge during these times, then the cheap power would be used instead of wasted. Alternatively, if most EVs continue to charge at night, then the state will need to build more generators โ likely powered by natural gas โ or expensive energy storage on a large scale. Electricity going first to a huge battery and then to an EV battery loses power from the extra stop.
