This is going to dramatically increase the amount of money that the Trucking companies will charge to haul freight. There is no logical way that a battery powered Truck fleet will even be plausible.

Yeah, why are we using Def then, if diesel is still a big pollutant... So how will this impact the power grid and not cause pollution in other forms. Sorry fossil fuel will remain more dependable.
it is but CEPA is targeting the older models anything made before 2010 needs to be taken off the road those trucks are causing pollution and the exhaust is not filtered and all come with the Cummins engines and burn #2 diesel. #2 diesel is dirty and is toxic the newer stuff is watered down with DEF and the newer trucks have the CAT, Detroit, Paccar, Volvo, Mack, and Scanda inside them and the Cummins ISX engines are being phased out. Now California and the EPA have made them illegal you can not have Cummins engines in your truck, you can not have a truck that is a Pre 2010 model, and you can not idol in the port thats whey they are taking trucks off the road.

Electronic trucks take 10hrs for full charge, also due to weight regulations, electric trucks will have to take a smaller cargo due to their already heavyness due to the huge batteries.
EV trucks would be way heavier than traditional diesel trucks, the ev cars are already a danger in that the excess weight will collapse more car garages, just think about EV big rigs on the overpass day after day, load after load stressing out them pillars while you are under stuck in traffic.
I wonder how many "average" people are sitting on those boards? How many of those people are struggling to pay bills? Cant we just get rid of California? You don't have the capacity for 100 big rigs charging, let alone thousands and thousands!
Or the big diesel trucks will just be based out of other states operating in these states as they even eluded to, it’s just the sale of these trucks in the state. Honestly it will probably boost other states truck sales…

Controlling what drivers should buy and what companies should manufacture. Not right! I don’t support a mandate, why not make engines that run a higher blend or on 100% renewable diesel along with hydrogen and/or battery? Why not make them co-exist instead of banning one thing in favor for the other?
Actually, they have sufficient generation. They lack storage... and a huge amount of storage projects come on line over the next year. And they have issues with transmission lines stating fires. Don't know how they are going to solve that . I used to work in the welding business. Hydrogen is very tricky and very dangerous. And ICE vehicles have gotten very expensive due to dealer fees. This has *doubled* the ev adoption rate. We are way ahead of 2018 projections.
Common sources: solar, wind, nuclear, hydro. The cosmically large sun provides about a _billion_ times more energy than the entire world needs in a single day. We'd only need less than 1% of the total Earth's land surface to power the world electrical grids. Then a bit more than 1% to power the entire world's total energy budget (electric + fossil + everything else)
No there isn't. A recent house hearing asked an expert on this issue and said that if the US went to all electric we would need to have all the lithium and related materials in the world for the next 10 yrs. That means lithium and cobalt would become super expensive for everyday common use and we would fight future wars for it. That's what's up
Our government is sorry as hell in California, they think everybody is a millionaire >All this is a Tax scheme >I hope Truckers Boycott California and starting now >
California does not have the grid to support this at all whatsoever, if you take a look at the eyesore that is the high speed rail there is no grid for it and the train is like almost 20 years overdue. The range of these electric trucks is only 150 miles which does not include the extra battery to go longer which a battery of that size can weigh up to almost 8,00lbs. After factoring that in that’s more weight on the roads so they will have to change weight guidelines not to mention these trucks run close to half a million dollars a piece in all Californians can expect more prices to rise on everything.
Hate say this but it is always advisable to understand the traffic patterns and future land use and development before buying/renting a place to live because complaining about it after you moved in is on you.
These reporters on CBS and WaPo should maybe take 5 minutes to learn something about the topic they are covering. And perhaps CBS maybe reach out to the industry itself rather than another media outlet source. Seems like Talking to yourselves. More than half of all the trucks on the road nationwide in California today are already near zero diesel emissions.
Big rig drivers average about 100,000 miles per year. Well maintained semi trucks can easily last 800,000, even 1 million miles. Doing the math, all new trucks sold in 2009, the last year of "dirty" trucks by CARB's definition, should be off the road, replaced or the owners retired from the biz, by 2019 - four years ago. No need for cash for clunkers; the clunkers are, by and large, long gone. So the argument that the trucking industry needs more time to comply, is BS. What they want, as said in the video, is more government support. Corporate welfare. Believing in capitalism necessarily means believing in investment; sow now to reap leate. But they don't want to invest. They want taxpayer funding. They want soft socialism.
You can't make this up ! The electric grid won't hold up , so when your food runs out , your medical supplies run out , and the rest of the country laughs at you don't cry ! Truck drivers won't deliver there any more . You people are so arrogantly lost !
Let’s just say the ban is in place but some other states still allow new diesel semis to be manufactured and sold. Could you just buy a diesel semi from out of state? But yes, I don’t agree with this rule.
This is crazy it will never work they have been saying for us to limit our electricity due to high demand because of hot weather! The trucking industry is very important but if that's what they want let them have when power grid goes down then what ! Nothing like diesel in your veins and thick black smoke! Keep on Trucking!!
More weight Einstein you haven't a clue it won't work am retired King of the Road know the industry well I bet I have backed more miles in reverse than you have driven forward!
Cal won't let you keep older trucks. So even a new truck in 2024 will only be good to 800k mile. Withe freight rates we are getting now we can not afford a new $300k most truck can not pay $4000. If you do pay it off you will have to get a new one because of the mileage. Battery packs on a Tesla car are only good to about a 100000 miles. How long will a truck battery last. Because a lot of Tesla's are only good to about 100k miles at $15k to $20 for a battery every year then. Then you have charging time every day on a truck that work a full12 to 14 hour day. So less work time per day on a truck that costs more.
Some cities across the British Isles and Schengen Area have low emission zones into which noncompliant vehicles are either banned or taxed. Whether banning diesel buses, and HGVs from California roads. If the engines within such vehicles were manufactured no earlier than the 2009 model year, is controversial, but no less of a concern is how other jurisdictions across the US, including territories, plan to govern the transition of buses and HGVs from those that run at least somewhat on diesel or petrol to those that run on electricity, biofuels, or just plain old hydrogen.
diesel trucks will never be banned plus when ppl start to starve bc there is no food in grocery stores then we will talking about a different story that will effect all of us.
The emergence of electric big rigs has sparked a debate about the potential impact on owner operators and the overall market structure. While electric vehicles offer numerous environmental benefits, there are concerns that this transition may negatively affect owner operators. Many of these individuals, who own and operate their trucks independently, fear that the high cost of electric big rigs could put them at a significant disadvantage. Affording these expensive vehicles could be challenging, potentially leading to fewer opportunities for owner operators. Furthermore, there is a worry that larger companies with greater financial resources will be the ones capable of making the switch to electric big rigs. This could result in a consolidation of power, leading to a monopolistic scenario where only a few companies dominate the trucking industry. Such a situation might limit competition and potentially hinder smaller players from thriving in the market. It’s important to consider the potential ramifications of this shift to electric big rigs and ensure that there are measures in place to support owner operators and promote a fair and competitive market. What are your thoughts on this topic? Let’s engage in a constructive discussion.
I guess that monopolistic scenario will cause rise in transportation costs which will be already higher due to the cost of new electric rigs. Superinflation 😢 all the cost will be passed on to the consumer 😢
the final California Air Resources Board rule passed nearly 15 years ago. the trucking industry, including owner/operators, have had a decade and a half to adopt and invest. But capitalists don't want to invest; they want government "federal support" , aka taxpayer, bailouts.
But it is the government which is putting them in a situation where they will go out of business because of these new regulations, so they want the government to pay for it. Can't blame them. Don't over regulate, and then there would not be a problem to begin with.
They don't want to invest because they are already struggling. It's these small companies and owner operators that provide competition and are helping to keep rates down. Once they are wiped out and only the bigger companies in the field. The prices will skyrocket and added costs of new costly equipment. RIP the consumer
Dealer fees on ICE cars have doubled ev adoption rates compared to 2018 projections. And personal solar is getting small and inexpensive. My new 100w panels are 1/4 the size of my old panels. And 1/8th the cost. A 1kwH solar "generator" is $499 now. That's enough for $220 worth of gasoline in mileage on an ev per year. So a 3-4 year payoff. And you don't pay social security and income taxes on money you save. So the payoff is actually under 3 years.
Yeah, sure we need electric vehicles everywhere because we all see people dying on the streets left and right from so much pollution. At the stores we all see people coughing so much from all this pollution, it’s a crisis, Sure.
I wisfh they would make a law to keep them out of the left hand lane on major highways. That, "I'm gonna pass another semi here.." not to mention the damage to roadways they cause. I understand we need some semi rigs, just put it on a train. Use smaller trucks for local delivery.
Television hosts not quite understanding how quickly things change is truly astounding. Battery tech has improved leaps and bounds in the last few years alone. By 2036 the environment for these vehicles will be entirely different. This is like watching that clip where they couldn't comprehend what the internet was in the 90s. Either feed them better lines or have hosts who understand the bare minimum about the topic.
You think you had a choice in buying fossil fuel vehicles? The incredibly wealthy and politically connected global petroleum industry has made sure the world revolves around them with lobbying, campaign donations and outright owning politicians in their pockets (like Greg Abbott). Second only to mother nature, the most powerful force on Earth is the global petroleum industry. Governments have gone and still are going to war _on behalf_ of the petroleum industries.
@@willmont8258 No, it is well known that cost per mile for EV's is substantially less than gas. That's a huge reason benefit of why people buy EVs in the first place. You also have less maintenance with EVs since it has fractions of the parts count of a complicated gasoline car: engine block, pistons, valves, heavy transmission, cooling, liquids, belts, valves, etc. The drivetrain of an EV has basically a *single* moving part: the motor rotor! Moreover, gas engines have an incredibly low efficiency of some 20% where 80% of its energy is lost as pure heat!
@@ja8570 Not true, because if that were true, people would have gone with electric cars and they would be cheaper, but they are not. They are more expensive and can't go as far, and take a lot longer to fuel/recharge. They also require rear earth minerals for the batteries, and the charge doesn't last if not used. Gas is good even if not used right away.
@@ja8570 How come people don't buy electric cars except if the government gives them a big rebate? Because they are not cheaper to buy and own, otherwise, there would be no reason to subsidize them.

Television hosts not quite understanding how quickly things change is truly astounding. Battery tech has improved leaps and bounds in the last few years alone. By 2036 the environment for these vehicles will be entirely different. This is like watching that clip where they couldn't comprehend what the internet was in the 90s. Either feed them better lines or have hosts who understand the bare minimum about the topic.
Who makes an electric big rig?
@@KaiserBlade Tesla, Freightliner, Peterbuilt, Daimler, Volvo and basically every other manufacturer of semis that wants to stay in business. :-)
@@lepidoptera9337 And no one wants them because they can't do the job.
The fascist leaders in California won't let their citizens decide on their own what they want to buy.
You think you had a choice in buying fossil fuel vehicles? The incredibly wealthy and politically connected global petroleum industry has made sure the world revolves around them with lobbying, campaign donations and outright owning politicians in their pockets (like Greg Abbott).
Second only to mother nature, the most powerful force on Earth is the global petroleum industry. Governments have gone and still are going to war _on behalf_ of the petroleum industries.
@@beyondfossil How else would you power cars, since electric is more expensive? Gas is the cheapest way to go.
@@willmont8258 No, it is well known that cost per mile for EV's is substantially less than gas. That's a huge reason benefit of why people buy EVs in the first place.
You also have less maintenance with EVs since it has fractions of the parts count of a complicated gasoline car: engine block, pistons, valves, heavy transmission, cooling, liquids, belts, valves, etc. The drivetrain of an EV has basically a *single* moving part: the motor rotor!
Moreover, gas engines have an incredibly low efficiency of some 20% where 80% of its energy is lost as pure heat!
@@ja8570 Not true, because if that were true, people would have gone with electric cars and they would be cheaper, but they are not. They are more expensive and can't go as far, and take a lot longer to fuel/recharge. They also require rear earth minerals for the batteries, and the charge doesn't last if not used. Gas is good even if not used right away.
@@ja8570 How come people don't buy electric cars except if the government gives them a big rebate? Because they are not cheaper to buy and own, otherwise, there would be no reason to subsidize them.
if it wasn't for climate change we would still have an ice age
@85prpWith logic like that we could save a bundle on education costs by not sending anyone who's 1st and last name starts with a "c". I mean that is the same letter as climate change so it has to be related, right? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg
That type of global temperature change occurs over 10,000 to 100,000 years. Not the span of just some 200 years which is a blink of an eye in evolution and geological scales. Try again.
God controls the climate that's just the simple truth!
This is one of those policies that will have long term ramifications.
Yes, it will make the air quality much, much better. ;-)
@@lepidoptera9337 You can enjoy the air quality while you are out of work and can't get food, because as a result of forcing all trucks electric, the food can't get to the stores.
@@willmont8258 Why are you trying to scare yourself, child? ;-)
@@lepidoptera9337 I can tell by what you have written that you don't know much about what it takes to power trucks and the grid as a whole. You are the "kid" who needs to learn a few things.
@@willmont8258 I can tell by what you have written that you are lonely. That's why I am giving you attention. ;-)
They coming after the truckers
Yes, eventually truckers will be replaced by software. ;-)
We should have done this decades ago, its a little too late now
Yah and it doesn’t even start till 2036?! Geeze
Do you really think the tech was available back then decades ago?
