If they really wanted to clean emissions up by 70%. We would be running propane. Any vapor fuel like propane, natural gas, methane, hydrogen, gasification and more. They get way better fuel mileage. Propane in my area is the $1.99 a gallon. Propane never goes bad it doesn't emit any black smoke and the engine will last two to three times longer. The price of propane is very stable the last time the price went up was several years ago from the $1.49 to $1.99 a gallon. But it's not about emissions it's truly about control and more money for the elite. Your best fuel mileage is not 55 mph it's more around 15 mph. The slower you drive the more you fuel mileage will pick up massively. The slower you can turn your tachometer down the road the greater fuel mileage you will get in anything!

[@eddwinnas]

[@petitchenil]

I live in Northern California. As this stories airs on this and other KZbin channels - I received an alert from PG&E (our electric utility in California) that due to high winds they will likely shut off our power for 2-3 days. During the past few summers, PG&E had to shut off our power due to high winds. Never since 2010 has PG&E ever shut power off for weather. However, we did have flex your power days in the summertime when there was not enough power to meet the demand. Just recently CARB passed a law stating no more gas appliances, small gas engines and generators in California; no gas cars to be sold after 2035. I have all gas appliances and a 100 A electrical main service. Just think of the impact to the already stressed electrical grid and power generation system that will happen in the next few years as everyone is forced to electrify. The cost of electricity will skyrocket to cover the expansion of the grid and power generation. It will cost me thousands to upgrade my electrical service and appliances - and I will not be able to afford the electric to run them! I'm 60 and retired so it's a huge hit and something that will affect me in my senior years. I think it's going to be the end of large motorized motorhomes. The campgrounds we go to are remote and there is no way they can upgrade the infrastructure to handle charging these big rigs. Some are only 30A and have serious voltage drop in the summertime when everyone is running their AC's. How do you boondock with an EV and no generator? We also do dog shows that have no power - that will be out for us. We will keep our F53 until they no longer make parts for it. I think RV'ing will die a slow death up to 2050. I'll be long gone by then; last of the RV'ers. History will tell the story of how the covered wagons went west and how people's grandparents used to travel the great country when it was free.

[@jornott8399]

Especially, as these vehicles are rarely moved, charging is needed before longer trips. Why don't they increase the solar panel capacity? If instead of 400 KWP there are 1400 KWP, one day of standing in the sun would give you around 14/15 kw per day. That is not much but would allow you to recharge your vehicle enough to get from that "remote" location to some place with charging infrastructure to do the rest of the recharging.

[@jimcalver-oj4xf]

@@jornott8399Yes, agreed. We should stop expecting the infrastructure to support you. The solar angle is possible, for certain, and a hybrid motorhome might be allowed under CARB details so you 'could' support yourself for a modest charge rate in a location with no chargers. Solar!

[@leannemeissner6344]

Terrific post above. Vote Republican today on your way out of California! People will go to other states to register their cars. Manufacturers too! The one good bet is if you own a solar manufacturing company. PG&E caused a lot of people's deaths. They have to turn it off when it's windy. Their infra-structure is shot! Get metal roofs and homes with clear southern exposure for solar. Sell your power back to your city. If you're in a fire or flood zone, your homeowner's insurance is about to go through the roof. Anyone with a mortgage is required to carry homeowner's.

With a 246KWh battery 213 usable and an efficiency of around 1.4 KWh per mile. (Hummer gets 1.6 mi/KWh and semi gets .59mi/KWh{1.7KWh/mi}). The RV could also have a 6KW solar array on the roof. At night, it could go 151 miles between charges. The solar could add 10.7miles during the 2.5 hours it would take to drive that distance during the day at 60mph. 162 miles with existing tech is not that bad. Fast charging and a range extender could help with that. The solar could recharge the battery in 7 days with no other loads.

Surely some aftermarket emissions scrubber would be less onerous to impliment (while the use of DEF is already being implimented now).

This being in response to the lack of affordable housing and high costs of building extensions onto existing homes.

Register and become a resident of South Dakota. It's easy, the state is an "Open Registration" state. Travel to SD, sleep there one night and turn in your CA tags and CA driver's license. No more CA BS laws and high taxes. Search KZbin for South Dakota residency. Just what I would want, a foolish electric RV......

That works if you live full-time or majority part-time and don’t work in a state. If you are employed or live more than 6 months in a state, you are considered a resident of that state.

Some camp grounds are putting these nice campers on blocks to rent like a fleet of cabins

Von Hool makes an Electric Motorcoach. They had one make a trip from California to Florida. The drivers seemed to enjoy driving it. However the main problem they had was the lack of charging stations and when they found them the Super Chargers didn't work. The coach took up three spaces because it couldn't fit and if someone came in with a car they were out of luck. I can't recall how many days the original days the trip called for but it took days longer. BTW Freightliner is owned by Daimler. They have EV's with Mercedes.
