Kenneth Green: Key Points: California has led the modern crusade for vehicle electrification Experience suggests that even with modern technology, electric cars are not capable of satisfying consumer desires Subsidies given to promote electric car adoption are wasteful, regressive, and unethical California regulators should let markets, not planners, determine the course of vehicle electrification Introduction Environmentalists have long wished for the electrification of passenger vehicles. As Professor Vaclav Smil points out in Energy Myths and Realities, both Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford labored mightily to make that happen: 1 Few people believed more strongly in the eventual dominance of electric cars than Thomas Edison, the inventor of the modern electric system. This conviction brought about one of the most consequential pairings in the history of technology. Henry Ford was hired as the chief engineer at Detroit Edison Illuminating Company… Edison would, in fact, spe...
