With the incoming trump administration the failed ev mandates would be rolled back.
Finally the abusers of that mandate (you know who it is)who outsourced jobs in the name of evs will payback.

Model e . Look at that name a disaster like their owners
California and their "green" fixation is most amusing when you consider they will need to build dozens of power plants burning coal or gas to charge the battery dream, string hundreds of miles of transmission lines up and down their forests and near cooling water plant locations, ignore the mountains of toxic waste created in somebody else's back yard to get the fractionally pure lithium ore refined and into a battery (both water and land environmental disasters) and the threat of chemical fires in densely populated urban areas. Nothing green about the politics, just virtue signaling on steroids. But hey, if they can't see it they can pretend it doesn't exist. Until the brown outs get them to thinking.

Like it or not, California will regulate emissions as they see fit regardless of what the next president attempts to do.
California has always have ignored the federal goverment on this subject.

From your linked post, note the word "rule".
"The California Air Resources Board today approved the trailblazing Advanced Clean Cars II rule that sets California on a path to rapidly growing the zero-emission car, pickup truck and SUV market and deliver cleaner air and massive reductions in climate-warming pollution."
Standards will be rolled back to those enacted under the 45th president in 2020. They are essentially carry-over (only 1.5% improvement per year) and don't require selling EVs to meet the requirements.
Regulations that sc--w up mobility in a state don't make them realistic or even smart. One million liters of water to refine 1 metric ton of lithium, no concept of how big the energy shortfall in generated electricity is... it goes on and on. Politicians are not particularly bright people. Stupid decisions can certainly become stupid laws especially in delusional realm of California.
And now for some facts.

Regulations are law.
There are no EV mandates by the Federal Government!!!!!!!
It is not written anywhere in the Federal emissions rules or any other federal documents.
Only California adopted rules which they hope will get them closer to EV majority in their state. Key word "rules" not laws.
You don't what an EV don't buy one!
Model e will be history.
