This US city has banned the construction of new gas stations due to the increase in electric vehicles

At least two electric vehicle chargers must be installed at every new gas stations that are constructed. A US city has decided to prohibit the opening of new gas stations due to politicians’ “obligation” to address climate change. There are currently five stations in Lousiville, Colorado, a town of about 21,000 inhabitants close to Denver. Although a sixth was just authorized, it might be the city’s final one. As per the latest municipal legislation, it may be inferred that prohibiting gasoline stations could potentially encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) which would lower vehicle emissions and promote the use of cleaner, low-carbon energy choices for transportation. It goes on to say that the reason a cap on gas stations rather than a complete ban is being considered is that demand will persist as more electric vehicles are gradually introduced. According to the law, all new gas stations that are given a waiver from the prohibition or those that undergo modifications must also install two electric vehicle chargers. Additionally, they must be separated from current ones by at least 1000 feet, or little over 300 meters. The building of new gas stations was prohibited until September 2023 by an emergency…

California’s investments in the climate

In addressing the climate catastrophe, California has taken the lead under Governor Gavin Newsom. The state of California is most affected by climate change. California has had catastrophic wildfires, heat waves that broke records, and severe droughts. The costs of inaction on climate change are too high. The cost of extreme weather events to US taxpayers in 2022 alone was $165 billion. California is eschewing fossil fuels in a big way. By 2035, we will have reduced our reliance on oil by ceasing to sell new gas-powered vehicles. A measure to gradually stop the manufacturing of hazardous oil in our communities was signed by Governor Newsom. The extraordinary, multibillion-dollar climate budget that Governor Newsom proposed includes: Addresses the problems of wildfires and drought Aids in communities’ weather adaptation Supports the state’s objectives for zero-emission vehicles Provides energy that is inexpensive, dependable, and clean. Saves money for Californians and builds thriving communities These innovative global climate policies are having an impact. The majority of clean energy jobs in the US are located in California. The clean car and renewable energy sectors are driving the country’s growth. California surpassed its 2020 climate target six years early. California produced six times as many…

The IEA projects that global emissions will peak by 2025 for the first time ever

As per the IEA’s recently issued “World Energy Outlook 2023,” clean energy has the potential to revolutionize the global energy system by 2030. Solar and electric vehicles (EVs) in particular are offering “hope for the way forward.” According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy grid in 2030 will have nearly ten times as many EVs on the road as there were in 2023. The authors observe that in 2020, 1 in 25 automobiles sold were electric; by 2023, that number has dropped to 1 in 5. Given this, it is easy to see how the momentum for EV adoption will continue to grow significantly over the next ten years. According to IEA projections, solar energy will surpass the existing electricity generation capacity of the US power system by 2030. It projects that the proportion of renewable energy in the world’s electrical mix will increase from about 30% to over 50%. According to this analysis, new offshore wind projects will receive three times as much funding as new coal and gas-fired power facilities. Heat pumps and other electric heating technologies are predicted to outsell fossil fuel boilers worldwide. “The global shift to clean energy is occurring and will…

Colorado adopts California’s EV regulations in part, but falls short of the 2035 prohibition

A new Colorado Clean Car rule, which generally mirrors California’s “Advanced Clean Cars 2” law but stops short of establishing a 2035 deadline for 100% EV sales, was overwhelmingly passed by the Air Quality Control Commission of Colorado. By 2035, all new cars sold in California will be electric vehicles, according to a rule that was finalized last year. Between now and 2035, the rule aims to increase the percentage of new EV sales, with 100% ZEV and PHEV sales by that time. Given that California is the US state with the highest EV adoption rate (and could probably stand to exclude PHEVs as well), we remarked at the time (and still do) that this deadline could have been accelerated for the Golden State. The California Air Resources Board argued that by adopting a more liberal standard, other states would be more likely to follow suit and form a larger group of states that could drive the auto industry in the right direction. Several additional states, including New York, Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Maryland, have thus far accepted the regulation. Even better, Washington has chosen 2030 as the target year rather than 2035. Colorado joined…

Here’s how the EV tax credit will change to an instant dealership reimbursement in 2024.

The U.S. Treasury Department announced in a press release on Friday that the federal EV tax credit will change to a point-of-sale dealership refund in 2024, providing customers immediate access to the benefit. Currently, customers must wait to submit their taxes before claiming the credit, which is up to $7,500 for new cars and $4,000 for used cars. As part of the overhaul of the EV tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), EV purchasers will be able to collect their credit at the dealership beginning on Jan. 1, 2024. The Inflation Reduction Act, according to Laurel Blatchford, chief implementation officer for the IRA, “allows consumers to reduce the upfront cost of a clean vehicle for the first time.” “The IRS has focused on streaming this process for car dealers as part of its commitment to improving service and helping taxpayers claim the credits they are eligible for.” To be qualified to offer the credit at the point of sale, merchants must first register with the IRS. Additionally, buyers must certify that they fall under the IRA’s income restrictions; otherwise, they will be required to repay the credit the following year when they submit their taxes. For married couples…

Electric vehicles save you money – View average savings in your City in California

Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than their gasoline-powered equivalents nationwide, regardless of where you plug them in. In the 50 largest US cities, every power supplier offers a pricing plan that makes using electricity less expensive than using gasoline, resulting in a median annual savings of almost $770. You may save money on maintenance by driving an electric car. Battery electric vehicles (battery EVs) do not have gasoline engines, require no normal maintenance, and do not require replacement of timing belts, spark plugs, or oil. When compared to a gasoline-powered equivalent of their vehicle, these lower maintenance costs can save an EV owner over $1,500 over the course of the vehicle’s lifetime. Below is specific information about average savings in some major cities in California. Findings Depending on the electricity provider, the electricity rate plan selected, and the local gas prices, the annual savings can range from $440 to over $1,070. Many electricity providers provide cost-effective off-peak, time-of-use options for EV users. Most EV owners charge their cars overnight while they are parked at home, which frequently coincides with periods of decreased total electricity demand. During these periods, several utilities provide discounted rates. Off-peak, time-of-use rates range from…

Powering Up Californians Act Is Signed Into Law

The Powering Up Californians Act, proposed by State Senator Josh Becker (D-13), has been approved by Governor Gavin Newsom and removes a significant obstacle to the state of California reaching its climate, air quality, and equity goals. California has to electrify automobiles and buildings in order to achieve these goals and to comply with state and federal legislation. To do this, the state must modernize its electric distribution system in some areas and shorten the time it takes to connect to the grid. The efforts to clean up the air are being undermined by delays in powering buildings and constructing EV charging stations. Affordable housing units in San Francisco are vacant, and because of energization delays, electric big rigs like those shown below that could be replacing harmful diesel pollutants are idle. What Does The Powering Up Californians Act Do? SB 410 (Senate Bill 410): Declares it to be the policy of the state that utilities must modernize the grid “in time to accomplish the state’s decarbonization goals and implement federal, state, regional, and local air quality and decarbonization standards, plans, and laws”; Mandates utilities to report on their compliance with those timelines, explain any noncompliances and how those will…
