Here’s another reason why Maryland should replicate California’s ban on new gas cars by 2035 (“Will Maryland Repeat California’s Ban on New Gas Cars by 2035? Advocates say it should. November 30).
The current problem with the widespread adoption of electric cars is that people who live in apartments, condos and townhouses without garages have nowhere to plug in an electric car. If you can’t load it, you won’t buy it.
With the passage of the law, gas station owners will realize that there will be a large number of people who will need a place to charge their car batteries. So gas station owners and gas station chains will install fast chargers. Then electric cars will be like regular cars. You run out of electricity, you stop at a gas station and charge while you eat or go to the bathroom.
