Electric vehicles. Are they really ready? The current administration does not care, it is all damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Of course, like with the other emissions, California (tries to) lead the way.
In spite of the obvious. California's electrical grid is already overtaxed. Yet they want to somehow rid the state of internal combustion engine vehicles within the next twelve years (2035). I will note that they will allow hydrogen power, a nod to Toyota's rejection of EV only powered vehicles.
