That is GENIUS!!! Until you're buying the last 100 gallons, that is....but basically, the total revenue from the tax is flat, and they raise/lower the tax depending on the amount of fuel that’s taxed, so that the revenue remains flat.
If more gas is sold, the tax goes down. If less fuel is sold, the tax goes up.
Reducing the demand for gas doesn’t reduce revenue, because they’ll increase the amount of tax per gallon to make up the difference.

And those puckers will hound you to hell to get it.I can see it now - the absolute last gallon of gas that will be ever sold in the state will be taxed at about billion dollars

QFTWell, many miss the point that the Idiot Baines is simply trying to thump his chest and say "See, I can do anything I want because I am King and my illegal comrades will keep me in office".
He knows as well as anyone that:
- in 2035 he will be long gone and the sitting governor can overturn his executive order
- the California electrical grid cannot and will never handle the charging of an extra 1-2 million or more electric vehicles
- there are a several million people in California who do not have charging outlets where they live and it would cost literally billions to install exterior chargers at every apartment complex, motel and campgroud to name a few.
In essence, this a feel good, unattainable goal that he can get away with because all of his eunuch followers fawn over every similar act he takes. It really means nothing.
They will be phased out completely by 2035.
California to ban sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035
Newsom’s office notes that transportation accounts for roughly half of the state’s carbon emissions and estimates that these new rules will reduce those emissions by 35 percent.finance.yahoo.com
Don't get me wrong, this is a completely stupid idea that is nothing more than a way to divert attention away from their piss poor forest management skills and that denies you the freedom to choose what you want to drive, but it will be interesting to see what kind of effect this has on the US auto industry. Electric cars are getting better, and really the only thing holding them back is the batteries.
What are you trying to do - use common sense? That will get you banned from Cali.I see several problems with that idea. Now they are talking about shutting down electric power grids during high wind periods to help prevent sparking and starting wildfires. What happens if you have an electric car that needs recharging in order to evacutate. What does someone who lives in the northern part of the state who needs to visit someone in the southern part of the state, How do they recharge, what is the cost, and how long does it take to recharge an electric car for a long trip. A gas or diesel fillup only takes at most 15-20 minutes. Doing a quick google search, I see a lot of the lower power home chargers require 8-11 hours for a full charge, some vehicles that can connect to high power commercial charge can be charged in about 40-45 minutes. Not california, but I live in E. Texas, my son lives in Jackson, Ms. I would not care to have to stop probably two times in that 350 mile trip to recharge to ensure that I did not run out of a charge, a normal 5 1/2 to 6 hour trip would then end up closer to 7+ hours.
Lastly what would the cost of a decent home charger be, and would all vehicles be able to accept the same chargers, needs to be a standard out there like for gasoline nozzles at service stations. I think most homes would require a rather expensive and probably difficult electric upgrade to install a decent charger, then what about families with multiple vehicles, could you even get home service for multiple chargers, or who has charging priority, How much upgrade to the overall electric grid will be required to service what will probably be a huge increase in demand. Where is california going to get the electric power after banning fossil burning or nuclear power plants.
