There won't be enough capacity because CA government still doesn't understand that CA imports the majority of our electricity and thinks "ban gas cars" solves everything

Same issues up here: although >85% of BC's electricity is hydro, that's only 20% of total energy use. ~70% of that is fossil fuels, thanks mostly to transport. To electrify everything would need ~ the eq. of 20 more dams like this: https://www.sitecproject.com/about-site-c/project-overview

Toyota's commitment to hydrogen notwithstanding, I think they are spot on when they say these electrification targets/goals are not in the least realistic.

Hybrid cars make sense. But that makes sense, so politicians won't go for that.

WTF ever happened to hydrogen? I was hopeful for some advances there...

It's in the application - the energy creating it, liquifying it, and integrating it into a passenger vehical sized application is difficult to say the least.

Oil is a gift from God - you can poke a hole 1/2 way across the world, ship it and refine it, deliver it, and integrate it's use in a passenger vehicle so easily (and thus $cheaply$) it's hard for anything else to make any kind of sense...unless your a true believer of a planetary apocalypse ...

Oh, the planetary apoc is coming, from overconsumption and overpopulation. However, those are very convenient truths for the rich greenies. They think they can buy their way out with Teslas.
