This will never happen. They can’t even get the plans for a new bridge approved from Vancouver Washington area to Portland Oregon, 20+ years. No way in hell in nine years they will have the infrastructure in place for this.
Right, but they will steal tax payer money to keep up the facade of this moving forward for decades. Mostly launder the money through "studies" I'd wager.
There is already an absurd number of electric and hybrid vehicles in Washington stare (I think the Prius is the state bird actually).
There will be a massive amount of gas vehicle purchases in 2028 and 2029, as people rush to get a last version of new gas cars, or they’ll be really cheap after it starts. Then all of the lefttards will make their public statements and start driving leafs.
as an engineer I hate when they pick it has to be an EV. I hate EVs for so many reasons. they are not eco at all from rare earth metals and ewaste and energy needed to make them. and the child labor for cobolt mining etc.
and national security wise terrible, what happens when we have a real war like a nuclear war and the grid is taken out. with gasoline infrastructure at least there is some chance of some vehicles working to move people and stuff around but not for EVs if the whole grid is down.
They don't allow for other "green" alternatives? they just pick EVs as "the solution". dumb on so many levels.
there is also a reason we have the strategic oil reserve. it is to buffer shocks in demand for energy. and for national defense purposes of course. basically if the oil get turned off elsewhere the military will have enough fuel to retake oil fields that were turned off. etc. and to keep economy going. if everything is electric where is all this strategic 'stored energy" coming from? nowhere, that's where.
The fossil fuels used to mine for lithium and transport for battery production are more significant than what a what is consumed in the lifetime of a gas guzzling vehicle.
Also, on a similar note, if they care about the earth they would ban disposable masks, especially those from China. Transporting from China on a cargo ship just to be thrown in a landfill here is stupid. Global warming or not, we should love and take of this home we’ve been given. Stop using shitty paper masks!
These people are hypocrites, and I despise hypocrisy.
interesting that legislators who by far are mostly not engineers can pick a year out of their ass and make it so. I see big problems especially in case of EVs with grid which is not designed for more load added to it from EVs. Lots of issues with grid as far as defense and national security aspects. If solar flare takes out grid there goes everything including charging of EVs. logistics of stuff getting around etc?

Two of the worst run states in this union!

The most important part of virtue signalling is telling people you’re doing something, not actually doing it.
the faggots that passed this shit won;t even be in office in 2030. Leftist scum out. MAGA forever.
Lefties' biggest enemy, reality, will defeat them once again long before that.
That's weird. No more gasoline cars. So the boats, planes, trains, and semi trucks are okay then?
Also are they going to buy everyone a new car?

Should they start collecting old practical gas vehicles?

Hahahahahaha. Not. Gonna. Happen.
and a lot of EVs are run by electricity from coal fired plants. so dumb.

Guess we’ll all be driving HD trucks by then. Oh good already am!
