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.

@9ZHFK754mos4MO
Not at a standard where they're feasible and resale values are poor
@9ZH7VBR4mos4MO
Cities should be pedestrian, oil companies be dismantled
@9ZG6ZKT4mos4MO
Hard to implement without incentives for those who cannot afford electric or hybrid cars
@9ZFT6KFSocial Democrats4mos4MO
If they can provide the services for people to charge their cars at a fair cost and effectively
only if they are going to give a payment out to people who change from petrol or diesel to electric or hybrid because buying those cars flat out is too expensive
@9ZBB4G34mos4MO
Require all new cars to be electric or hybrid by a certain date - age cars that aren’t electric out
@9YKBPVR4mos4MO
Yes but as long as they don’t turn out more expensive than petrol/diseal
@9ZSNXTD4mos4MO
No as this disproportionately affects those who can only shop in th second hand market and can’t afford to buy newer electric/hybrid cars
@9NXPTSZ9mos9MO
Yes, but don’t penalise those who can’t afford to change.
@9NWX4CX9mos9MO
Yes but with subsidies for those switching and allowances for those switched.
@9RGDDQG8mos8MO
No, There are new innovations that bring pollution from vehicles down from 96% to 2% without affecting the performance of the fuel. These avenues should be looked into more. If electric vehicles get to a standard where they cost little to make and can be purchased cheaper or use solar power as hybrid standard then that could work also. I own 2 electric vehicles btw.
@9RF7XZZ8mos8MO
Not all new cars but electric and hybrid cars should be made more available than diesel or petrol cars.
