Just 3 weeks ago, while in Japan, I met with high level execs from 2 very well known Japanese companies that produce HEV and EV batteries. The one company has the largest battery production facility in the world, they also have the largest battery winding machine in the world. Both groups said the same thing, The new NY and Cali laws are based on dreams not reality. It simply impossible to build enough batteries to support their fantasy laws. It cannot be done. Here in the USA we are building new battery plants at a fever pace, but it isn't enough. Incidentally, China and Japan are way ahead of us with this effort. IT will be at least 2040 and beyond before we can produce the batteries needed to sustain this dream.
