Electric and hybrid vehicles use electricity and a combination of electricity and fuel, respectively, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease emissions. Proponents argue that it significantly cuts pollution and advances the transition to renewable energy sources. Opponents argue that it increases vehicle costs, limits consumer choice, and may strain the electric grid.
No, not unless the cost of electric and hybrid cars decreases or in someway become more affordable for the average citizen
@9NPXKX821hrs21H
No but required all public transportation resources to be hybrid
@9NMNB5C2 days2D
No but more environmental sources of transportation should be affordable
They should and should also put money forth for providing more electricity for these cars.
@9NM3T453 days3D
No, but they can improve the public view by promoting electric vehicles and providing car manufacturers subsides to innervate and make more E.V.'s to put into the market.
Yes, as long as they provide incentives for individuals to invest in electric or hybrid cars
@9NLF3PX3 days3D
No, switching to electric should be voluntary with highly effective incentives
@9NJZFDB4 days4D
Yes, but make those cars more affordable. And make penalties for not having an electric or hybrid reasonable.
@8C5H88J 4 days4D
No, but provide subsidies to incentivize the manufacturing and purchasing of hybrid/electric vehicles.
@9NJPKHF4 days4D
No, but increase tax incentives for electric or hybrid vehicles
@9NGZJZS5 days5D
Yes, only if the government aids heavily in the purchase of the vehicles
@9NG845V5 days5D
No, however promotion of Electric/Public Transportation/Urban Renewal can be the solution to the current high CO2 rate.
@9NG79VT5 days5D
No, only if the infrastructure is also required to be expanded to accommodate all of the vehicles along the same timeline.
@9NFW3WL5 days5D
Yes, as long as they're as affordable as fuel-based vehicles.
@9NF9B4MRepublican6 days6D
No, but drivers who emit carbon emissions should pay a gas tax for the use of the air (which they already do); also, power plants which produce the electricity (such as that used to charge electric cars) by emitting carbon should also pay a tax for the use of the air
@9NCVR3K7 days7D
No, forcing a country with high amount of car owners to have one specific type of car while refusing the acknowledge the damage lithium mining is causing to the environment is negligible.
@9N295MR 7 days7D
No, but add incentives for buying electric or hybrid cars.
@9NC45VKRepublican1wk1W
No, this would make it impossible for farmers to do their jobs leading to world famine.
@9NBNRNN 1wk1W
Yes, but electric only, assuming the grid is upgraded first.
The government should ease into converting over to all electric and hybrid cars
@9NBKD6Q1wk1W
Yes and No, because not everyone can afford that switch, it'd be better to slowly make most vehicles in the market hybrid and electric over 10-20 years.
@9NBF9LV1wk1W
No, electric vehicles are not to the point where they should be expected as the type of vehicle allowed to be manufactured in the near future.
@9NBBB5WIndependent1wk1W
yes, but I think that electric cars are very expensive and most people wont be able to afford them
@9NBB2F91wk1W
It should slowly traverse but it depends on the people's choices
@9N9CHQZ1wk1W
No, and reduce regulations on small to mid sized car and trucks.
@9N8P94G 1wk1W
Yes, as long as the methods of obtaining these cars are ethical and the time period is feasible.
@9N8HX7N1wk1W
No, not until electric vehicles are manufactured with a lower carbon footprint.
@9N8629DIndependent 1wk1W
Yes, but only if there are subsidies for lower income individuals to be able to afford newer vehicles
@Meepmeep777 1wk1W
No, this Will adversely affect the vast majority of the working class and middle class.
@9N7PSQL1wk1W
No the government should require auto manufacturers to start building public transportation instead.
@9N5WBYD1wk1W
Yes, however it should be determined by the classification of vehicle as electric is not efficient nor reliable enough for utility vehicles.
@9N5V2PN1wk1W
Not until the price of electric cars has gone down to something reasonable
@9N5RWJS1wk1W
grandfather clause and make cars more fuel efficient
@9N5CZ5NLibertarian 2wks2W
No, and the government is currently over regulating the automotive manufacturing industry.
@9N56KVQ2wks2W
For some professions where employees and wirkers are on the road constantly this would simply not work. *but* I do think that Most vehicles Should be at least hybrids.
@9N336P82wks2W
provide incentives to make electric/hybrid cars cheaper
@9MZFB3Z2wks2W
No, it's an unrealistic expectation that will never be met and will only lead to a lack of creative innovation
@9MYQ4752wks2W
No, the government should subsidize walkable infrastructure and public transportation instead
@9MYMGYN2wks2W
Yes, but only if new EV car prices come down to be affordable to middle income buyers,(under $75K income) even if it requires subsidies on a sliding scale to do so.
@9MYFGYR2wks2W
Yes, but make sure charging stations are widely available.
@9MXB2TJ2wks2W
No, electric cars are not feasible in large parts of the county. Hybrid technology makes much more sense.
@9MW35WN2wks2W
No, and reduce the current EPA fuel economy and emissions standards.
@9MTZNC42wks2W
Yes, provided the transition is gradual and within a reasonable time frame to avoid individual hardship and ensure that consumers have ample choices once fully implemented
@9CLR7CL 2wks2W
No, but the government should subsidize electric vehicles and it make it significantly easier for electric vehicles to be purchased and produced.
@9MS94TY 2wks2W
The government should incentivize companies to shift their production toward affordable electric vehicles, but not require a full shift to electric by an arbitrary deadline.
It should only be required once electric vehicles are guaranteed to work the same as fossil fuel driven vehicles and once the infrastructure is built.
@9MRVDQD2wks2W
Yes, but it should have people with lower incomes to be able to buy cars that they can afford because hybrid and electric cars are more expensive.
@9MRV5GX2wks2W
No, we are not to that age just yet. We still need to find ways to get the things we need cleanly.
@nicatim13 2wks2W
No, but continue to provide benefits to people who own clean vehicles, and to manufacturers of those vehicles.
@9MPNYMJ2wks2W
No, the EV transition should not be mandated by any certain date; the public will drive this change.
