I won't be buying a Chinese car, regardless of power source.
Separately Governor Newsom's autocratic proclamations about what he wants to happen in 2035 carry no weight - the next governor may change that edict as has happened many times before.
California (where I live) needs to get serious about its electricity grid, which is currently 3rd world quality, so those that want to run electric powered vehicles can do so safely.
Right now if there is a strong wind the grid is turned off in case the power lines blow over and start a fire in all the dry vegetation that is no longer managed by the state, exacerbated by tree disease.
We can't currently escape from those fires in electric vehicles. I'd like to see a massive investment in roads (tires and road degradation create enormous pollution) and the electricity grid, especially given that natural gas is now banned in all new houses, restaurants and businesses.
