This article is really , really light on reasoning. Especially with regards to how this affects inter state commerce other than perhaps saying “California is too large a market to have any independence from other states”. Similarly the straw man at the end of environmental impact doesn’t mention EV pollution savings over the life time, just the extra cost for specific components. The point regarding charging infrastructure also doesn’t provide room for the initiatives to make home charging easier and cheaper. Finally the point about mining practices and the call out to China seems to be trying to illicit an emotional response but doesn’t leave room for further regulation to curtail that. Really it boils down to the final paragraph, “Markets free of government manipulation are better suited to determine the pace of technological transitions.” which belies the source perspective of this article as a highly libertarian perspective of the world, not an objective one.
