The Spin
Left narrative
This move will be a positive step in cutting back on carbon emissions and fighting climate change. Californians and, hopefully, Americans nationwide will move towards more sustainable vehicles.
Right narrative
This is another lofty California idea that will be easier said than done. There are a variety of external factors that could hamper the ban, including lack of infrastructure and mineral availability. Markets don't respond well to such extreme mandates.
Metaculus Prediction
There is a 50% chance that at least 82.9% of US car sales will be all-electric by 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
