Regardless, the government should provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase American-made vehicles

 @4C9DYX2Greencommented…1mo1MO

No

The government should not be increase handouts to an already over-subsidized industry.

 @9JLBFWQ  from Maryland answered…5mos5MO

No, electric cars can create just as much and possibly even more waste to the environment based off the manufacturing pollution, and non recyclable materials the cars can be made with.

 @9FWQBF6CA Common Sense from Nevada answered…9mos9MO

I believe the world should be less focused around cars and should make things more in walking distance. I want a society where cars aren't a requirement.

 @9FY74LYfrom Maine answered…8mos8MO

No this is the government forcing consumers to buy a certain product which is interference in the market

 @9MM6L3P from California answered…4wks4W

No - but local/state governments should provide incentives for people to purchase electric vehicles (for instance California's use of the carpool lane)

 @4C9DYX2Greenanswered…1mo1MO

No

No to trucks and SUVs, yes to compact vehicles / micromobility Ebikes

 @Politics_53 from Texas answered…1mo1MO

No, we should move towards car free and walk-able cities as that will help combat climate change and reducing our use of fossil fuel.

 @9MWBGYNfrom Maine answered…3wks3W

Forego the need for Cars, phase as many cars out as possible with public transport. Rework Cities and population centres to become more pedestrian and cycle friendly.

 @9FYFXHN from Washington answered…8mos8MO

Yes, but the government should provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase domestically-made vehicles regardless of energy source

 @9FXQ4HF from Connecticut answered…8mos8MO

I believe electric vehicles are not the best path forward for better environmental and infrastructure-related policy. The USA infrastructure is far too heavily car dependent - especially when compared to certain European countries.
I dislike how in many regions in the U.S. many people essentially are "required" to have a car to get to work or other essential regions in a time-efficient manner. Additionally, having a car - be it gas, electric or hybrid - is often very expensive for upkeep, repairs, insurance and so on; leaving many poor, working-class members of society…  Read more

Government should be providing free, reliable, accessible, non-fossil fuel public transportation to reduce our reliance on personal vehicles.

 @9P58DGFDemocrat from California answered…4 days4D

Without a change to the electrical grid electric cars won't make a huge difference in the long run. In the short run they help, but the government must do more to fundamentally change the way energy is created in the US to effectively combat climate change.

 @9P2KZ68 from Delaware answered…5 days5D

No, the person buying the electric vehicle should be made aware by how much damage to the environment their vehicle is causing.

 @9NWXQ6Q from North Carolina answered…7 days7D

Yes, if >80% of the vehicle's parts are made in the USA, the vehicle is assembled in the US or Canada, and no minerals for construction of the batteries come from China nor Chinese owned companies.

 @9NNGDNZ from Maryland answered…2wks2W

Only for individuals with incomes lower than $80,000 per annum or couples with $120,000 per annum, and only for vehicles less than $30,000 sticker price

 @9NKQJ32 from New Jersey answered…2wks2W

Electric Vehicles should be banned until cobalt can be mined sustainably without child labor and forced displacement.

 @9NCW7BK from Georgia answered…2wks2W

NO - we have done the 'experiment' - we can all agree now that EVs have limited use or application - like golf carts.

 @9N9HPNVfrom Texas answered…2wks2W

No because lithium mining is destroying our planet and there is not enough electricity to charge cars on a large scale

 @9N5VB6Y from Virginia answered…3wks3W

No, that money should be devoted to making US infrastructure capable of supporting electric vehicles

 @9KMKHL5 from Connecticut answered…3mos3MO

No, companies are incentivized to charge more for their electric vehicles if the government will cover part of the cost.

 @haxzie from Nevada answered…3mos3MO

Moving away from vehicles as a whole should be encouraged, so public transportation gains more financial support and allow cities to be more accessible.

 @9KHZN4Z from Pennsylvania answered…3mos3MO

No, even if electric energy is cleaner than fossil fuels, people who buy electric cars shouldn't receive special treatment.

 @hanbohobbitSocialist from North Carolina answered…3mos3MO

No, electric vehicles should be made a more financially viable option in regards to purchase price and maintenance cost. There should be more of a priority placed on free public transportation that is environmentally friendly rather than individual, private vehicles.

 @9KHHC79  from Florida answered…4mos4MO

No, not everyone can afford an electric vehicle and at some point, the batteries are going to die out causing vast backups at landfills. Actions should be in place now as to how to recycle the batteries into new batteries so that when the time comes, there is already a plan to implement to reduce the negative impacts on the environment and landfills

 @9KGBG2NRepublican from South Dakota answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but this should only be used until the total percentage of car ownership in the country has reached atleast 60%

 @9KFT9XW  from Massachusetts answered…4mos4MO

Yes, the government should provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase or support any sustainable and renewable energy initiatives.

 @9KFSFBN  from Georgia answered…4mos4MO

No, the gover should not be providing government subsidies or tax breaks. Abolish the Income Tax and IRS.

 @9KFFRWH from Arizona answered…4mos4MO

Yes, as long as said vehicle, has proper safety features and made of proper material property in comparison to other vehicles.

 @97CLF7Y  from Washington answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but regulate the cost of electric vehicles to make them more accessible to low or mid-income people.

 @9KF3TKB from Pennsylvania answered…4mos4MO

No because not everyone can afford one. If they were affordable no matter the class your in then yes.

 @9KF2CBW from Tennessee answered…4mos4MO

The government should focus more on public transportation and less car dependency regardless of if the personal vehicle is gas powered or electric.

 @9JWWC4X from Maine answered…4mos4MO

No, subsidies are better invested in regenerative agriculture, national park preservation, and promising sustainable energy

 @9JWSJSM from Maryland answered…4mos4MO

No, not right now, the power grid isn’t to the scale to support the transition to fully electric vehicles

 @9JWC6ZC from Texas answered…4mos4MO

It's a good idea, but soon everyone that buys an electric vehicle will expect payment in return and it'll be draining

 @9JVZS29Progressive from Washington answered…4mos4MO

Depends on the effectiveness that the electric vehicle has on helping out on the climate crisis compared to general gas dependent vehicles.

 @9JV78G8Independent from Washington answered…4mos4MO

No, electric vehicles are not clean or green, if anything the government should regulate the insurance companies so less cars go to the land fill, and subsidize maintaining and buying used efficient vehicles.

 @9JV6QN9 from Florida answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only as a stopgap until public transportation is common everywhere, as that should be the end goal.

 @9JSCF3R  from Missouri answered…4mos4MO

No, electric vehicles should be promoted as an environmentally friendly option, but the government shouldn't financially incentivize private purchases.

 @9JQR7QW from Oklahoma answered…4mos4MO

Yes, because states are trying to tax people by mile instead of gas. someone doesnt like saving money

 @9JDSMTM from Michigan answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but as long as the U.S. actively increases the correct infrastructure to support electric vehicles

 @9JDCH7P from Ohio answered…5mos5MO

No, because the energy is not clean how do you think they get the energy, They get it from burning fossil fuels witch is what they are trying to eliminate. Also it would keep people from buying those cars ,they have killed many people .

 @9JBWMN5 from Pennsylvania answered…5mos5MO

Yes, the government should allow citizens to trade in oil based vehicles for electric vehicles with funding from the government.

 @9J83VT7  from Arizona answered…5mos5MO

No. There is no evidence that EVs are a viable alternative to gas powered cars and a substantial body of evidence that the switch to EVs cannot be made. The government should not reward people for buying into a political agenda and false narrative.

 @9J8ZQBY  from Georgia answered…5mos5MO

not with the current state of electrical vehicles because they are still just as harmful as fossil fuel powered vehicles

 @9J8YV84 from Indiana answered…5mos5MO

No, The prices for an electric car it’s higher that the regular cars, you should work a lot to get that money pay a lot of taxes so no you earned that

 @9J8MVZKSocialist from Texas answered…5mos5MO

Yes, and also provide higher subsidies to low & middle income people so that they can partake in this.

 @9J7GSR6 from North Carolina answered…5mos5MO

No, it is not fair to those who cannot afford one. And it is not healthier for the environment in the end.
