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.

@9TBZZV67mos7MO
cars should be prodominently electric by 2035. And all diesel cars should be registered as historical monuments that can be legal to drive anytime
@9WKJ9XZ6mos6MO
No, eletric cars should be banned as they are more harmful to the environment than petrol or disel cars
@B4KYT5J1wk1W
No, not unless they make charging docks for electric cars more spread out, like gas stations, and only if they decrease the cost of these cars, as some people may not be able to afford an expensive electric/hybrid car.
@B4KY9J31wk1W
Yes, except for most heavy vehicles, but acquiring materials should be eco-friendly, charging Battery EV should be cheaper, more abundant, and faster.
@B4DN3B52wks2W
No, the government should instead invest in more widely available public transport options nationwide
@B4D84C62wks2W
Yes, and No. Electric is challenging regionally, as seen in cars and rail. However, incentives like fuel cost reductions or vehicle subsidies should support electric/hybrid adoption in cities and surrounding areas. Machinery should explore safely bio-available non-electric fuel alternatives.
@B4CJFV62wks2W
As long as there is a plan and a clear goal that benefits all citizens with a supporting objective measurable values to track and monitor through the transition phase, I support the pledge.
@B49S67P3wks3W
There needs to be more recharging options for the amount of vehicles the country wants to replace. Forcing constituents to replace their vehicles will impact their finances. Low income or fixed income earners will be greatly impacted
