When charging stations are ubiquitous, I would seriously consider buying an EV.

We definitely ought to do away with fossil fuels, and EV's are a way to do it, but we ought to address our out of control car culture too and make vast, revolutionary investments into robust public transit.

What you do mean "reconsider"? I considered one before, now I'm strongly considering it.

I can buy a ****LOT**** of gasoline for the money an Electric Vehicle would cost... ****AND**** my gas-consuming vehicles are a ****LOT**** more cost-effective over the next 10 years ***AND*** much less damaging to the environment NOW and in the FUTURE. I will NEVER buy an EV.

Electric cars are great for around town. They can not replace my truck for towing. Taking a boat to prineville reservoir from bend and back is pretty taxing if not impossible for most Electric vehicles currently. I don't want to make it home with 3% battery hoping nothing happens along the way.

I would never be able to afford an electric car and they are worse for the environment when it comes to the batteries in them. Plus a new battery would cost more than the care itself. And I wouldn't want one to begin with. It is the worst idea ever!!!

They are still to expensive, don't have a far enough reach and there is not enough infrastructure. We aren't there yet. Maybe in 10 years, but not now.

I am considering an electric vehicle, but gas prices really don't play a part in this decision.

Will never buy an electric vehicle! The cost and maintenance over the long term just don't pencil out.

The arrogance of our country thinking we can make a difference in changing the climate is laughable. Especially when countries such as China, India, Russia and those in South America do not pay attention to any of it.

I will when they are feasible they are not I am in the auto business they have just as many negative's as positives. But in 5-10 years maybe we will see Hydrogen or Bio fueled would have been a better way to go but whatever Politicians think is best for us

We need to find a better way to store electricity before electric vehicles will be feasible for the whole of society.

Over *4 times* as many children & teens have died from Gun Violence in America since 1963, than the total number of US Soldiers killed in action during Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, & Iraq wars COMBINED.

You are comparing 65,000 deaths, mostly inner city gang killings, to 62,000,000 innocent children murdered in abortion clinics.

And that does not include more than 62 million babies that have been killed by abortion in the United States since Roe vs. Wade. Roe vs Wade was not enacted until January 22, 1973. 62 million, is more than21 times the lives lost by US Soldiers in all of the United States Wars combined.

Guns aren't the problem it's the evil behind the gun... inflation should not even be in the same paragraph. It is disgusting. No baby formula, gas prices are draining us, everything is expensive...

Inflation and failed economies will always increase criminal activities, including gun violence.

You can't regulate free will. People make choices for good or evil. Inflation is something that the government can affect. Fuel prices affect every aspect of our economy. We need to be energy independent to do that. We need to open the pipeline and get busy drilling.

Everyone is affected by inflation. Every business is affected by inflation. Inflation directly affects me more than gun violence.
