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.

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.
@9ZQRDT31mo1MO
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.
@9ZJG7771mo1MO
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.
@9YHWCHT2mos2MO
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.
@9WBRTKD2mos2MO
Yes, if EVs are affordable and there is the infrastructure to support it in place.
@9W8RPW22mos2MO
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.
