The long-term trends look favorable for rooftop solar and community solar.

You may in fact be right, but nowhere, in any of this planning for the electrical car phenomenon of the future, do you find anyone thinking about this, and making sure that happens for the reason of supporting this plan.

Instead, you find all the talk is about the magical environmental benefits of this plan (which i expect are actually pretty slim in and by itself), without any implementation details of how california will prepare for it to happen. They talk instead of how they are going to force automakers to do the "right thing", with no self-introspection that "holy shit we may need to do some work too".
