I now own my second hybrid.

If they ever made one that could go longer distances. I have seen only 1 recharging station for such cars at Fred Meyer. To make them attractive, need many more recharging stations. Until then, no thx

Stuart Alpert

Why not?

Joseph Nelson

My next vehicle will be an EV.

Torina Wilson

How about YES!, but it’s too expensive. Therefore, I’ll wait

Kerie Raymond

We have an EV for local & shorter range trips (have gone to Vancourver, WA & Eugene, OR) and a Hybrid for longer range trips. Electricity is $10/month, and nothing once we have PV. No maintenance cost

No, too expensive

Electric vehicles need to be cheaper for me to invest in one. I'm just trying to get from point A to point B on a budget!

Because I want to make that choice being I'm a free individual in the United States of America. Free to make my own choices and not be told by a dictator governor of the State of Oregon. FDKB.

Government is already controlling you when you drive. Ever stop at a stoplight? That's some university indoctrinated bureaucrat deciding how long you will be made to sit there and wait for his little technocracy to "turn the light green" so you can go.

No one forced me! I love getting 50 mpg while gas guzzlers are paying my share!

GT Thomas

I do not want a vehicle liberals try to force on me.

Bob A. Bui

Screwing your kids/grandchildren to own the libs? Nice.

George Pearson

No one is forcing you! Watch something else beside Fox for a change, to get a full picture!

I mean I would but they are too expensive. Honestly I would rather to not drive at all and take the bus everywhere but that isn't currently realistic.

Karen Barker Rouse

Can’t imagine it would make long road trips easy.

Kerie Raymond

Not easy, but doable! Worth it in the long run.

Douglas E. Wilson

We are being priced out of everything by so called do gooders!

Robert Northrup

If it would meet my needs yes. Unfortunately there are none currently that can.

Ed Drahos

The answer itself is explanatory enough. It's too expensive. Yet the charging situation isn't set up to be a reasonable solution. This is because the industry is totally out for reoccurring profits to charge for such electric vehicles. You can blame commercialism for this greed.

Waste of money

Because the majority are NOT truly environmentally friendly! Would consider a hybrid.

Christena

I've always wanted a hybrid but having my vehicles paid off it's just not worth it.

dan bob

Although it’s environmentally friendly, it is far too expensive. Perhaps in the future when corporations become competitive in this area and sell vehicles at cheaper prices.

Hugh Jjggh

It’s not that it’s too expensive I just like gas powered cars and I love hearing the engine rev unfortunately kids today will never understand not only what that 3rd pedal is for but also a real car
