California to Require Uber, Lyft Drivers to Transition to Electric Vehicles in Latest Climate Change Mandate
Electric vehicles are so desired that they have to be mandated.
California will require ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft to transition to electric vehicles by 2030 in the state’s latest climate change mandate.
90% of ridesharing miles must take place in electric vehicles according to California’s new rule.
Who is going to pay for this? The officials won’t say, but we know the burden will fall on the driver/taxpayer.
Uber and Lyft drivers are low-income earners and won’t be able to afford an electric vehicle.
Electric vehicles cost between $50,0000 to $300,000 and they take HOURS to fully charge the battery.
