Gotta LOVE the politicians meddling in everything they shouldn't! They can't just ASK, encourage, and incentivise people to buys EVs, no they have to MANDATE it. Typical. They just love making more and more laws to take away our freedom! Another thing to think about: With EVs, sure, they make no emissions. While driving. Teslas need their battery packs replaced every 6-8 years or so. Where do you think they all go when they're used? How do you think they are made? Do you think they're made with water and other harmless materials? NOPE! According to electrek.co, a Model S battery pack is 70% Lithium, 20% lead acid, and 10% other materials. And guess what? Lithium and lead are BOTH toxic! And I'm not even going to start on the motors themselves! Wise up world, this isn't the way to stop greenhouse emissions! It's just a way for people to make themselves rich off other people's ignorance! Plus, ya know, it gives the government more excuses to make more laws. Maybe instead we should all be driving Japanese Kei cars or mopeds? Not a 7 seat SUV for one person which will sit idling in a parking lot for an hour? Or big pickups only used like a sedan? Don't get me wrong, I believe we need to watch our emissions, but I don't think this is the way to do it, if it is even the crisis the media makes it to be. Who knows if the climate is just going through a natural cycle? We only have a few hundred years of weather records out of several thousand to judge weather trends on Earth! Moderators- Sorry if this one was too political, I really wanted to vent, and I can't stand people only hearing one side of the story.
