California is mandating that all new cars be either EV or plug in hybrids by 2035; which is 12 years in the future. I am aware of no plans to outlaw existing vehicles. A typical consumer car lasts between 10-15 years, so we are talking about ~2045 until California starts finishing its EV transition (likely far longer to reach 100%, as some holdouts will keep gas cars alive longer). That is enough time to build up the capacity to support it. And if it turns out to not be enough time, we don't need to abandon EVs, we just need to push back the timeline.
