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 invest more money on public transport. Forcing people to transit is not the solution, instead, they have to use their vehicles a responsible way.
@9ZJG7773wks3W
Only after adequate infrastructure is fully in place, which required government planning and investment
@9YK5BFQ4wks4W
I think they should encourage it, but not enforce it.
@9YHWCHT4wks4W
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.
@9WBRTKD1mo1MO
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.
@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
