Take a fuel efficient economy gasoline car that gets 35 mpg, equip it with a two gallon gas tank, and then make it a requirement that you can only fill the gas tank up once each day. That’s roughly equivalent to a all electric car available today. And people are wondering why electric cars have never sold well? Electric cars will never sale well until some big breakthrough in battery and charging technology which hasn’t happened yet.
My guess is the new CARB regulation is a benchmark in hopes it will bring about new technology. This is not the first time CARB has set the goal real high on electric cars and then have to ease up on the regulation after the breakthrough in technology does not come to fruition
