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.

The government should do whatever is recommended via research as the better option for the planet.
Yes, and require all emissions based machinery to transition to clean energy, and provide subsidies for lower income citizens to afford these vehicles.
@B2W86PR2mos2MO
More data needed on long term environmental effect of batteries
@B244VCM4mos4MO
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.
@9ZJG7775mos5MO
Only after adequate infrastructure is fully in place, which required government planning and investment
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.
Yes, but increase the available infrastructures to accommodate for hybrid/electric vehicles.
@9RBY87R9mos9MO
No, the government should allow the market to determine the evolution of carbon efficient vehicles
@9QVJ8SZ9mos9MO
Hybrid but maybe not electric until the technology develops further.
@9QQ98DN10mos10MO
implement better public transportation and make cities less car dependent
@9Q6LHXS10mos10MO
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.
