I'm glad to see these mandates. Initially I think the challenge is for
manufactures to get high levels of production running. That seems to be
well in progress. Long term, it will probably be battery raw materials.
I hope the technology continues to evolve so that most of the materials
are easy to source or to obtain from the waste stream. And, of course,
better energy and weight density.
I can imagine, not too far off, that an EV will weigh about the same as
an ICE, have extremely rapid recharge, and long range.

Subject: [EVDL] EVLN: CA and WA aiming for all-EV new sales by 2035
CA: "Under the new rules, 35% of new cars [sold in California] must be zero
emission by 2026, 68% by 2030, and 100% by 2035."

WA: "Washington governor Jay Inslee says the state will phase out the sale
of new gasoline-powered cars by the year 2035 ... Under a 2020 state law,
Washington is required to adopt California´s rules for zero-emission
vehicles, the most stringent in the nation ...
"In 2021, electric vehicles made up 12% of new car sales in California, 8%
in Washington, and 4% nationwide. Neither state´s regulations affect cars
and trucks already on the road, which are America´s biggest source of
climate-harming pollution. ...
"Seventeen U.S. states have agreed to adopt California's tailpipe emissions
rules and 15 have backed its zero-emission vehicle requirements. A group of
17 other states has challenged the EPA's decision to restore California's
authority to set emissions rules that was withdrawn under former president
Donald Trump."

I haven't seen anything in these stories that says CA or WA will refuse to
register new ICEVs bought outside the state and driven in. A clever dealer
could also ship in "used" (driven a couple hundred miles) ICEVs first sold
in other states.
Too bad there's no stomach in DC for a nationwide ICEV ban like the EU's:
