I really wish I had one!

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

Ron Johansen

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.

Michael Dinsmore

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

Gabe West

No one can afford one in this economy and Biden. Think buying a electric vehicle will help the environment, climate. Does not exist the climate is always changing

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.

Gabe West

People are being forced into buying one that's what the Biden administration wants because they think they are better for the environment, the climate is always changing their is no climate change

Gabe West

Plus no one can afford one in this economy

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!!!

Jessi Johnson Horn

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.

Jon Krutsch

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

Steven Huillet

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

I have a hybrid all wheel drive. I average 42 MPG. I haven't looked back. Charging station not required.

Larry Ewart

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.

Tim Collins

Nope

Rick Allen

NOT HARDLY! First of all I do not like them and would never buy one! Secondly I will not be forced by the liberal lunatic left!!!

Kevin Crabtree

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

Clancy Prentice

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

Honestly I voted for Measure 110 because I believe arresting and locking people up for possession of a small amount of drugs who aren't otherwise breaking any laws (such as DUI) is a waste of law enforcement resources. I never could have imagined the death, distruction and crime it would cause.

Latterdaysaint

Should have recriminized it months ago better yet should have never decriminalized it

Dave Leverick

No People that use drugs don't want help they want more drugs if they pretend to want help they don't go to jail and are able to get more drugs and laugh at the system

NO

Fentanyl is already illegal and it carries the possibility of death when consumed. If the real possibility of death, as well as seeing friends and others dying doesn't stop people from using it, then nothing will. Removing the fentanyl from our hospitals, secure our boarders and remove the threat.

jason eichholz

Cuz addicts gonna use

Kimmy Wasatch

Never dshould have passed to decriminailze drugs and reversing it now will not help,many peple are too addicted to get help now and the only thing to stop fentanyl is to close the border, democrats do not want to do that as they are hoping to allow them to vote.

Madi Bordeaux

This has been a political joke. It was morality signaling with intent to never follow thru or create the supportive infrastructure. Continual setbacks in implementation, esp. the admin side. + police refused giving citations in 110 leading to recovery, cause big mad about funding. INTENTIONAL FLOP$
