Back in 2010 California was beginning to mandate the new diesel emission regulations that would require most trucking companies to buy a new tractor or replace the engines in their fleet. It caused many trucking companies and independent drivers to go out of business because they could not afford the expense. Plus, it drove up trucking costs in the state.

It was discovered that the data acquired and analyzed for the study by the California Air Resources Board that resulted in these new emission standards was provided by an employee who falsified his credentials. His boss knew of the employee's false credentials but allowed the data to be used anyways.

When this was discovered, they went ahead with the new emission requirements anyways and ordered a new study to be analyzed at a later date. The employee, nor his boss, were ever reprimanded and kept their jobs.

That's California for you.

I almost went with one of these when I bought a new zero turn this spring. The reviews seemed decent, but I opted for a gas-powered Toro. Maybe when the Toro is used up, still too early in the game for me to jump on the EV or electric mower train.
