Even in a leading EV market like California, progress has slowed:
EVs were about 25% of new car sales in 2024, and growth has recently flattened rather than accelerating
The state needs a rapid jump to near-100% of new sales within a decade, which critics argue is unrealistic given current trends
Argument: If adoption is already plateauing at ~1 in 4 cars, the jump to nearly all new cars being EVs is a major structural challenge, not just a policy tweak.
2. Infrastructure is widely viewed as a major bottleneck
Multiple analyses highlight charging as a limiting factor:
Large-scale EV adoptio…  Read moren could strain the electric grid significantly as demand rises
Studies and reporting consistently flag insufficient charging access, especially for renters and urban residents without home chargers
Real-world transition issues include uneven charger distribution and reliability concerns
Argument: Even if people want EVs, the infrastructure may not scale fast enough for universal adoption by 2035.
3. Affordability and equity concerns are significant
Critics of the mandate point to cost impacts:
EVs generally still have higher upfront prices than comparable gas cars, even if operating costs are lower
