Cost Implications
The great thing about EVs being mandated in California is going to be the cost implications. Right now an EV is an expensive car for most people, but that will change soon. As the EV becomes the norm in the automotive industry the price will continue to drop. Eventually, the EV will be a much more affordable option, even compared to the cheapest gasoline options on the market (via Nissan).
The great thing about cars becoming more affordable is the fact that air pollution will continue to decrease. The automakers are working at a feverish pace to reduce the price tag of a new EV but it’s still going to take more work. With the prices going down every month the EV will be the car of the future soon enough.
