California wants to all vehicles in the state to be zero emission, and that includes semis that operate in the state. This has created a dilemma for truck operators, who often operate on thin margins and find it hard to afford a new expensive electric truck. In this episode of America Uncovered, we look at California’s goals for zero emissions vehicles, why truckers are already leaving the state, and how California’s regulations could affect the entire US economy.

for long haul electric trucks are worthless and will stay worthless untell they can be charged from 0 to 100% in 10-15 min. this is due to several issues. First even the truck with the longest range per charge dosent have a range long enough to support long haul. next even when the truck is not moving the trucks ac and electric systems need to be on as the drivers live in the truck so think of that sleeper as a small rv. Finaly even if the trucks had enough range for this charging would have to be done in parking spots. Putting charging stations there will either reduce the number of parking spaces ava while requiring all trucks to use the parking with chargers or will sandwich the charger into the limmited room between trucks that exist now in which case they WILL get hit. this last one is even worse as we dont have even half the truck parking we need right now. as evadanced by the trucks that you see parked on on/off ramps along random sholders or in walmart parking lots (walmart lots can be good for the driver it gives him a place to buy things like shampoo or new clothes without paying the huge markup at truckstops)
California has so many problems for truckers. I was an over the road trucker and spent a lot of time there. LA is the worst place. There is nowhere for trucks to park and where there is a place its expensive. Long lines for fuel partly because there is nowhere to park so people will take a 30 min break blocking fueling lanes. A huge cost of this electrification of trucks will end up being in space to have these trucks sitting for hours. I don't think the ports will have the space for it.
Hydrogen Powered Trucks.. All Electric is silly. If they want zero emissions for trucks, Hydrogen. Where to put the fuel stations? At The Truck Stops. HYDROGEN.
The SCOTUS will throw that out, it clearly violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution that prevents states from hindering interstate commerce. In fact, it's hard to think of an example of anything worse. If not for that, just triple the prices for everything in California that ever rode on a truck and the voters will terminate the problem.
Lol
Black and Brown drivers come from communities that cannot afford to purchase new trucks.
Politicians have too much job security.
So why is there no clip of Trump dining with Xi at Mar-a-Lago in your intro? No need to answer, we all know you are a Branch Trumpidian and hypocrisy does not faze you.
well, since less stuff is moving through CA ports anyways, who cares. CA needs to suffer a state-wide economic collapse.
hmmmmm…
They will need to improve their hydrogen infrastructure if they ever plan to do this, and even still it will destroy their economy.
So the supply chains that haven't been normal since before COVID will never become normal and will actually get worse. Dang. If California can't make the rest of the country socialist, then they can sure make us feel the same sorts of effects. Can't the rest of the country sue these folks? Or tip them into the ocean? How about if we build the border wall right up across the California border as well and separate it from the U.S.? They've been talking about seceding anyway. That one state can have so much of an effect on the rest of the nation is just NOT RIGHT.
Vote for biden, get karma.
Don't worry. It won't happen. It literally CANT happen. This legislation demands what is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Politicians belive they can make laws that contravene laws LASWS OF NATURE.
Politicians do this because they(their families and friends) have shares in EV and 'green' energy companies. Physics and economics be dammed.
Remove newsom and rescind all of his stupid ideas
It would be nice if neighboring states stop selling water, electricity and food to California. 😂😂😂
Yeah they already have energy issues, like rolling blackouts.
Can the federal government override them
Californian government is so stupid all that rain water they are getting will be all gone in one month
I'm not even a Truck Driver but I left because California was forcing guys like me into poverty meanwhile illegals could come here and get all these government funded programs and be living a better life than me. I felt like a Guest in my own country. Nope, I moved to Arizona and lifes been good ever since but I'm worried the longer the left stays in charge the more this country will continue to push california regulations further east.
Crazyfornia
California 🍵
Texas needs to open a port, take National supply route from CCCP California.
If Nevada was smart they would be petitioning on approving Nuclear power plants to supply California''s insane powere needs.
The answer is don't go to California. Don't let the crazy progressivism destroy, leave them behind.
So truckers STOP going to California, when they can't get goods to market maybe they'll see the light!
Seems simple, don't deliver anything to Kommiefornia.
So California is going to get more Fucked up. Nothing surprising about that.
Industry isn't prepared for it or ready, CA will either have wavers or not get delivers. Also that source is wrong, the number one most polluting vehicle is a Cargo Ship, followed by planes.
I picked up an oversized load, shipped from Japan, in Virginia, to take to Ontario, CA.
Think about that. Someone shipped something 2/3rds away around the world rather than try and get it into a California port.
America needs its own trucker convoy
California is about to make New Orleans relevant again…
Are they trying to kill companies likes UPS….
Actually i think they do.
Union
We want more power outages!!!
Close nuclear plants
No more gas or coal
Fuck your living!
We want more power outages
No sane person ever.
CaLOLfornia. fukem.
I think democrats suck, and Cali is full of them. Do the math
Cant the truckers charge while resting?
There's only one company (Tesla) that has an electric hauling truck that would meet these requirements, but even they couldn't make enough trucks in time. And even their original model would only be truly efficient for local deliveries (charging time in those cases is 30 min with supercharging and can be done at the factory/business rather than 'on the road').
On the plus side, Tesla's first Semi model pays for itself in, roughly, 3 years considering the cost of electricity compared to diesel/maintenance. Not an ideal solution, yet, but doable. IF you have enough trucks. Which nobody does.
Electric cars are not "Zero emissions". Im not saying they are not better, but they are not zero. The electricity has to be made somehow. Even if the electricity is wind or water, those systems have to be made with mined goods. Zero emissions is not reasonable or possible.
Fuck. California.
Sorry, but i'm 1st amendmenting this, i hope i'm not shadowbanned, someone just comment some random nonsense to prove i exist…..to me?
trucks are also the single greatest way FOOD GETS INTO MY FRIGGIN STOMACH SO SHUT UP CALI. Leave it alone, and stay out of Texas (except Austin, you can go there, that's all you can go to).
