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.
@9N295MR 46mins46m
No, but add incentives for buying electric or hybrid cars.
@9NC45VKRepublican15hrs15H
No, this would make it impossible for farmers to do their jobs leading to world famine.
@9NBNRNN 18hrs18H
Yes, but electric only, assuming the grid is upgraded first.
The government should ease into converting over to all electric and hybrid cars
@9NBKD6Q22hrs22H
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.
@9NBF9LV24hrs24H
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.
@9NBBB5WIndependent1 day1D
yes, but I think that electric cars are very expensive and most people wont be able to afford them
@9NBB2F91 day1D
It should slowly traverse but it depends on the people's choices
@9N9CHQZ2 days2D
No, and reduce regulations on small to mid sized car and trucks.
@9N8P94G 2 days2D
Yes, as long as the methods of obtaining these cars are ethical and the time period is feasible.
@9N8HX7N2 days2D
No, not until electric vehicles are manufactured with a lower carbon footprint.
@9N8629DIndependent 2 days2D
Yes, but only if there are subsidies for lower income individuals to be able to afford newer vehicles
@Meepmeep777 2 days2D
No, this Will adversely affect the vast majority of the working class and middle class.
@9N7PSQL3 days3D
No the government should require auto manufacturers to start building public transportation instead.
@9N5WBYD3 days3D
Yes, however it should be determined by the classification of vehicle as electric is not efficient nor reliable enough for utility vehicles.
@9N5V2PN4 days4D
Not until the price of electric cars has gone down to something reasonable
@9N5RWJS4 days4D
grandfather clause and make cars more fuel efficient
@9N5CZ5NLibertarian 4 days4D
No, and the government is currently over regulating the automotive manufacturing industry.
@9N56KVQ4 days4D
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.
@9N336P85 days5D
provide incentives to make electric/hybrid cars cheaper
@9MZFB3Z5 days5D
No, it's an unrealistic expectation that will never be met and will only lead to a lack of creative innovation
@9MYQ4756 days6D
No, the government should subsidize walkable infrastructure and public transportation instead
@9MYMGYN6 days6D
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.
@9MYFGYR6 days6D
Yes, but make sure charging stations are widely available.
@9MXB2TJ7 days7D
No, electric cars are not feasible in large parts of the county. Hybrid technology makes much more sense.
@9MW35WN1wk1W
No, and reduce the current EPA fuel economy and emissions standards.
@9MTZNC41wk1W
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 1wk1W
No, but the government should subsidize electric vehicles and it make it significantly easier for electric vehicles to be purchased and produced.
@9MS94TY 1wk1W
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.
@9MRVDQD1wk1W
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.
@9MRV5GX1wk1W
No, we are not to that age just yet. We still need to find ways to get the things we need cleanly.
@nicatim13 1wk1W
No, but continue to provide benefits to people who own clean vehicles, and to manufacturers of those vehicles.
@9MPNYMJ1wk1W
No, the EV transition should not be mandated by any certain date; the public will drive this change.
Although environmental sustainability should be a priority, the cost barrier to replacing a vehicle is too common to ignore.
@9MNBK5MProgressive2wks2W
No, not until they develop the infrastructure necessary to support EVs (ex: just as many charging stations as gas stations), better technology for shorter charging times/longer battery life, and employ measures to significantly reduce costs for consumers (initial purchase and parts/repairs)
@9MMY4LT2wks2W
To power electric cars it takes up more energy than it would take for a gas powered and when we have fully gotten clean electric energy and no more pollution then this would be the way to go
@9MMX76R2wks2W
Yes but there should be exceptions and allowances that make it easier for low-income houses to buy hybrid cars. There should be incentives from the government to do this, as well as more research into renewable energy/electricity.
@9MMBLNN2wks2W
Only if they are going to make it easier and cheaper for lower income individuals to buy hybrid/electric cars
@9MLZWJFIndependent2wks2W
If they can be run on hydrogen or another source of energy that doesn't harm the environment as much then yes.
@9HCFTMC 2wks2W
Yes, but incentivize companies to make the electronic cars more efficient and usuable in our society
@6LV5ZML 2wks2W
Not until they figure out how to make those vehicles affordable for ALL; and even then, people shouldn’t have to switch over until they’re in need of a new vehicle (new or used).
