California hammered by global warming.

From The LA Times today:

EV Vs ICE

With regard to price of gasoline in California, one can buy a lot of gasoline with the $32,000 -- the difference between an old used ICE and a new EV.

According to GasBuddy, average price of gasoline in most parts of the US, about $3.29. In California, about $4.69. In big scheme of things, not that bad for Californians --

• 4.69 - 3.29 =  $1.40 / gallon
• 12,000 / 30 mpg = 400 gallons
• 400 gallons x 1.40 = $560 for the year or $50 / month
• $50 = sushi dinner with cocktail for one

Or total:

• 400 gallons x $4.69 = $1,876
• $32,000 / $1,876 =  17 years

And the EV battery -- 30% to 50% of price of new EV -- needs to be replaced after about seven years.
