Electric vehicles have massive batteries which can not be easily disposed of, and are toxic to the environment. Electric buses are very expensive. And cannot be driven very far, especially driving to valley schools for sports events.

Because the Democrats have no plans to increase electrical infrastructure to accommodate increased demand while under false pretense (no such thing as global warming) eliminating abundant and reliable fossil fuel.

Cold weather can create problems, replacing batteries is very expensive and where do the old ones go...into landfiles. Humans probably contribute to enviromental problems but are not the main cause and nothing we do will stop climate change, the earth will do what it has been doing since time began.

EV batteries are NOT good for our environment not to mention the poor children digging for the minerals just so the green idiots can brag how well the USA is doing in the name of climate change rhetoric. If those were our children we would all be up on child abuse charges facing years in prison.

Don't listen to CB. An increasing number of scientists that agreed that climate change is a result of human activity are rethinking their position. Stating that CO2 may not be the cause of climate change. Science is not fact, science it theory. And Scientific theories have been debunked in the past

Just when I think you can't get any more ridiculous, you come out with the nonsense. Even your own church acknowledges climate change, A SCIENTIFIC FACT.

Nissan Leaf $18,000 (after rebates) +Kia Rio (gas) $20,000 = $38,000 or a Subaru Outback = $38,000 two for the price of one!

Considered it, but they need to get cheaper. My neighbor has an EV and he pays far less to charge it than I pay for gas.

What they neglect to tell people is that it causes more pollution creating the batteries for electric cars then what were already causing. These electric cars are not the awnser to our problems. Engines don't run on liquid gas they run off the fumes that it creates they can fix it but they won't!

Wouldn't have one. Not enough charging stations, it loses mileage distance in cold weather, and the batteries can catch fire. No thank you! Would consider a hybrid but never an all-electric car.

Absolutely NOT. That is going in the wrong direction and is going to be more of a problem than a help. It is ludacris and not viable. Global warming is a hoax, from the corrupt left. The Earth has been cooling and warming on and of for thousands of years! I do not like E V's!!!

What a scam. If everyone went to E Vehicles, we wouldn't have the power generating capacity to service them. Check out the amp draw on elec vehicles and figure it out. Guess we could build more nuke and coal plants to make up the difference.

Just like smoking and drinking age is 18, as should be the voting age. 16 yr olds are still too much under their parents' authority and would probably just vote however their parents tell them.

Before you have the privilege of voting, you should have some skin in the game. Like paying taxes. Being old enough to service in the armed forces, be old enough to be accountable for your actions.
