No, eletric cars should be banned as they are more harmful to the environment than petrol or disel cars
@9TBZZV63mos3MO
cars should be prodominently electric by 2035. And all diesel cars should be registered as historical monuments that can be legal to drive anytime
@9ZLYK7F1mo1MO
The government should mandate outcomes on reducing environmental impact to certain thresholds, and let Manufacturers determine how to meet those mandates. They should not prescribe specific technologies over others.
@9R2HPS75mos5MO
Yes, but provide lower prices or help to acquire them
@9ZV8Y5Y3wks3W
Oh hell no, electric cars suck so bad, imagine a world that is silent. I will never get that feeling again when I hear and see a cool car drive past, I am not going to live in a world where v8s, v10s and turbos don't exist
@9ZNMKQB1mo1MO
No, focus on making the grid sustainable and environmentally-friendly, in particular nuclear, and then begin to heavily incentivize, not force, citizens (and manufacturers) to convert.
@9ZF35QB1mo1MO
Yes in cities/highly populated areas. However in country/outback Australia this would be an issue as charging stations would be few and far between when your hours from the nearest towns
@9ZDYQSW1mo1MO
