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:
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Yes
@9ZLMMLB2mos2MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Yes, but only if it includes subsidies for low-income citizens to afford these vehicles
@9ZV77KC2mos2MO
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 !!
@B29D9DTNew Democratic6 days6D
No, this disproportionately will effect low income people
@B244VCM1mo1MO
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.
@9ZQRDT32mos2MO
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.
@9ZJG7772mos2MO
Only after adequate infrastructure is fully in place, which required government planning and investment
@9YK5BFQ2mos2MO
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 Democratic3mos3MO
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.
@9VCMPDG3mos3MO
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.
@9V96H7W3mos3MO
Yea, and cars in general should be limited if public transport is sufficient
@9TPHDHG4mos4MO
Have hybrids more available in the more rural areas. Larger populated have more charging stations
@9TNBDV84mos4MO
Yes, but only if they ensure there are affordable options.
@9TBHMLT4mos4MO
Yes, if still affordable, and functional. Hybrid recovery systems for sure used.
Deleted4mos4MO
Yes, provided there's sufficient vehicle charging infrastructure that's similar in price or cheaper than gas/diesel
@9T34Y2F4mos4MO
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.
@9SQVTGT5mos5MO
Find a source that works. Lithium and electric is no better.
@9SLJBJV5mos5MO
Make electric and hybrid options actually affordable to the now cash-strapped working class poor.
@9RBY87R6mos6MO
No, the government should allow the market to determine the evolution of carbon efficient vehicles
@9QVJ8SZ6mos6MO
Hybrid but maybe not electric until the technology develops further.
@9QQ98DN6mos6MO
implement better public transportation and make cities less car dependent
@9Q6LHXS6mos6MO
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.
@9ZK3JNS2mos2MO
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.
