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.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Yes
@9ZLMMLB6 days6D
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.
@9ZJG7771wk1W
Only after adequate infrastructure is fully in place, which required government planning and investment
@9YK5BFQ2wks2W
I think they should encourage it, but not enforce it.
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 Democratic1mo1MO
Yes, if EVs are affordable and there is the infrastructure to support it in place.
Yes, but increase the available infrastructures to accommodate for hybrid/electric vehicles.
@9VCMPDG2mos2MO
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.
@9V96H7W2mos2MO
Yea, and cars in general should be limited if public transport is sufficient
@9TPHDHG2mos2MO
Have hybrids more available in the more rural areas. Larger populated have more charging stations
@9TNBDV82mos2MO
Yes, but only if they ensure there are affordable options.
@9TBHMLT2mos2MO
Yes, if still affordable, and functional. Hybrid recovery systems for sure used.
@9T69G78 3mos3MO
Yes, provided there's sufficient vehicle charging infrastructure that's similar in price or cheaper than gas/diesel
@9T34Y2F3mos3MO
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.
@9SQVTGT3mos3MO
Find a source that works. Lithium and electric is no better.
@9SLJBJV3mos3MO
Make electric and hybrid options actually affordable to the now cash-strapped working class poor.
@9RBY87R4mos4MO
No, the government should allow the market to determine the evolution of carbon efficient vehicles
@9QVJ8SZ4mos4MO
Hybrid but maybe not electric until the technology develops further.
@9QQ98DN5mos5MO
implement better public transportation and make cities less car dependent
@9Q6LHXS5mos5MO
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.
@9ZK3JNS1wk1W
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.

Yes but at a later date making gas car not get mad
