Electric and hybrid vehicles use electricity and a combination of electricity and fuel, respectively, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease emissions. Proponents argue that it significantly cuts pollution and advances the transition to renewable energy sources. Opponents argue that it increases vehicle costs, limits consumer choice, and may strain the electric grid.

The Government should improve and make public transport more accessible, financially and logistically.
@9NL4FTV6mos6MO
No, not until there is proof of safer and longer lasting power supply than lithium. The mining, manufacture and disposal of EVs is terrible for the environment.
@9ZK6MWP7 days7D
Yes, but increase taxes onto petrol/diesel cars slowly, so gradually the population shifts to an electric based population.
@9ZH2VY31wk1W
Yes. And it should OFFER SUPPORT AND SOLUTIONS TO ACHIEVE THIS! including charging ports, funding grands for research & design, more green electricity, ENCOURAGE LOCAL SOLAR ELECTIC NETWORKS!!! Interlinked pod system.
@9ZGXSK21wk1W
No, but majority of cars sold should be, we can allow the continued sale of new and modern petrol cars.
@9ZGMMSQ1wk1W
if grants are given to those who cannot afford new cars so they can afford them, or public transport is free / improved
@9ZGK3QX1wk1W
No, electric vehicles are not necessarily better for the environment. The require more recourses that cause more harm to the environment compared to fossil fuels, and many of the mines for these materials don't have workers rights. Further more electric vehicles are expensive meaning that personal vehicles would only be for the rich, which limits travel for poorer people
@9ZCNKFZ 2wks2W
The proper infrastructure needs to be provided and costs are brought in line with other fuel types or subsidies for those in lower income brackets
