Yes

 @9ZLMMLBfrom Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

Electric vehicles are much too expensive. If the government is to mandate this, it will have to provide some sort of funding to help with both adding more electric charging stations and funding electric cars themselves.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2mos2MO

Yes, but only if it includes subsidies for low-income citizens to afford these vehicles

 @9ZV77KCfrom Alberta  disagreed…2mos2MO

Subsides are not the problem with electric vehicles ..THE problem is that this is not going to solve tge climate crisis. Electrical vehicles need to be charged and where does that power come from ? What level of pollutants are being expelled from just mining the lithium? This is doing nothing but making everything unaffordable. Not to mention the towing range and cold weather issues with evs ..NOT INTERESTED AT ALL !!

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2mos2MO

No, electric vehicle parts can be just as dangerous to the environment as emissions

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2mos2MO

No, the government has no right to interfere in consumer choices or the free market

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2mos2MO

Yes, and require all emission based machinery to transition to clean energy

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2mos2MO

No, incentivize consumers and manufacturers instead of forcing them

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2mos2MO

No, not until we find an eco-friendly and humane way to acquire the materials

 @B244VCMfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

No allergic vehicles are going to harm the environment just as bad as gas vehicles. Our electrical system can't handle the power we need now. Adding more will hermit more.

 @9ZQRDT3answered…2mos2MO

The government should invest more money on public transport. Forcing people to transit is not the solution, instead, they have to use their vehicles a responsible way.

 @9ZJG777from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Only after adequate infrastructure is fully in place, which required government planning and investment

 @9YK5BFQfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

 @9YHWCHTGreenfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

If this refers to new models, then yes. However, people have the right to own older models, as many are fans of classic car shows.

 @9WBRTKDNew Democraticanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, if EVs are affordable and there is the infrastructure to support it in place.

 @9W8RPW2Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but increase the available infrastructures to accommodate for hybrid/electric vehicles.

 @9VCMPDGfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

No, however making tech companies produce more affordable/maintainable electric vehicles (cars, trucks, bikes, etc) by a certain time so people would have more opportunities to purchase an electric vehicle.

 @9V96H7Wfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Yea, and cars in general should be limited if public transport is sufficient

 @9TPHDHGfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

Have hybrids more available in the more rural areas. Larger populated have more charging stations

 @9TNBDV8from British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

 @9TBHMLTfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, if still affordable, and functional. Hybrid recovery systems for sure used.

  Deletedanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, provided there's sufficient vehicle charging infrastructure that's similar in price or cheaper than gas/diesel

 @9T34Y2Ffrom New Brunswick  answered…4mos4MO

While it’s a nice idea, Canada doesn’t have the infrastructure in place nor do we have the ability to supply the demand that will result from everyone driving electric.

 @9SQVTGTfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

 @9SLJBJVfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

Make electric and hybrid options actually affordable to the now cash-strapped working class poor.

 @9RBY87Rfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

No, the government should allow the market to determine the evolution of carbon efficient vehicles

 @9QVJ8SZfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

 @9QQ98DNfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

 @9Q6LHXSfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

This should be a gradual requirement over many years as costs of electric and hybrid cars need to be anticipated by purchases - especially those who make minimum wages but who require transportation.

 @9ZK3JNSfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No, we should mandate recycling in the automobile industry and with all new vehicles do what we can to decrease fuel consumption and invest in a new technology instead of lithium batteries to replace the combustion engine.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would you feel if older cars were banned in the future to promote newer, cleaner technology?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Do you think electric vehicles should be more affordable and accessible across different income levels, or should they first target luxury buyers?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What do you think are the hidden challenges in switching millions of people from gas-powered cars to electric models?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If you had to decide between saving money on fuel in the long run or paying less upfront for a traditional car, what would you prioritize and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How much do you think you’re personally responsible for making eco-friendly vehicle choices—do you have a role in this change?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Do you think moving away from gasoline cars will actually make a big difference in tackling global environmental issues, or not so much?

 @9V376WTfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What're your thoughts on balancing long-term environmental benefits with the higher upfront cost of buying electric vehicles today?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If electric vehicles became the norm, how do you think that would impact everyday life for you and your community?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How do you feel about the government making rules that could push everyone toward specific types of cars, like electric vehicles?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What concerns would influence your decision to buy an electric vehicle, such as price, convenience, or just personal preference?
