Should the government require all new cars to be electric or hybrid by a certain date?

It’s more complex than that. People and ecosystems are dying for these batteries to be produced as well.

People should be able to drive gas cars if they want to, other people can drive electric cars if they want to

Yes, but also providing facilitation to find an eco-friendly and humane way to acquire the materials. As well as support for low income(no penalty for individuals just dealers)

No, instead more funding should be given to research on alternative fuels and better ways to harvest materials.

no because there's people that would rather not have an electric vehicle and we should care about others opinion.

The only date where it should be enforced is when we eventually run out of fuel in the world. Until then people can try to get familiar with electric vehicles.

No, more resources and emphasis should be placed on building more efficient public transportation/incentivizing its use if we wish to reduce transport emissions.

It shouldn'r be required to have all cars electric or hybrid but rather having them eco-friendly of sorts

Cars should be phased out entirely as a mode of transportation in favor of bicycles, walking, and public transit

Yes, but only after electric or hybrid vehicles are legitimately made environmentally friendly and also as long as low-income individuals receive help.

We need to find a humane and eco-friendly way to acquire the materials, offer actual price competition in the EV market that is marketable to all incomes, and make efficient public transportation more accessible and country-wide if EV companies fail to produce vehicles that meet the above standards. EV companies that fail to meet those standards must also allocate a portion of their profits towards public transportation infrastucture in every state they sell their vehicles.

No, people often restore, preserve and drive classic and or vintage vehicles as a piece of history, this would also make debt for anyone who does not have funds to just go and randomly by a new vehicle.

No, this requirement is causing a hardship among low income drivers who cannot afford to buy and maintain these cars. Our workforce depends on many economical transportation options. I am not convinced the harvesting of materials to build EVs, and building charging station infrastructure, is all that environmentally friendly anyway.

Not untill a clean way to obtain the materials is found, and not unless there at a cost where low incomes can afford

EVs will only reduce one issue with car culture in america, whilst actually increasing car dependency

Improved public transit and pedestrian accommodation would do more to reduce transportation-related emissions

I feel like gas emissions should be brought down however fixing that issue with only electric or hybrid cars isn't a way to solve it. I do agree with people having those types of cars, but, do not think it will help.

Electric cars are not the future. We should increase public transport infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions drastically.

A fraction of a corporations spending should go to the output of electric or hybrid cars by a certain date but should not take 100% of it

No, but encourage the public and companies to do so. Also, require gas stations to add at least one charging station.

Government should heavily incentivize electric and hybrid vehicles and heavily de incentivize gas vehicles

Not all new cars, utility vehicles used for various purposes like construction might not be practical to make hybrid

People can keep making gas powered cars, but I want them to strive to an all electric vehicle institution

This would be good but electric cars do have their own downfalls and I do not think the government should do this

This would be incredibly dangerous, the batteries used by hybrid and electric vehicles are very toxic and harmful when they are no longer viable. Making this car required would be very bad, I think that the government should not regulate the car type that the people can drive.

I think eventually yes, but not within probably 100 years or more, because electric / hybrid cars are more expensive, and people might not have money for one. Also, cars in general are expensive and people aren't going to just get rid of their cars because of that. Also, what about all the waste metal and materials from gasoline cars.

Yes, Only if the government provides the needed assistance in order to purchase, because otherwise who can afford it

make suvs and pickups not light trucks and have them fallow normal car regulations and make them crash compatable with normal cars

keep both gas and electric cars because having an electric car can be bad due during hurricanes and storms flood surges etc.

Yes, but they should help the public by providing financial assistance for people to make that switch

It should not be a requirement, instead opportunities for the lower/middle class to acquire electric cars should become more prevalent and oil-powered cars should slowly become obsolete

Until electric cars are the new norm. Most people cannot afford these cars but can afford gas powered. The only reason they should require the new electric cars are years from now.

They should certainly encourage it, but don't criminalize it. Just stop the production of gas ran vehicles and they will all eventually go away.

Yes, but only if these vehicles are as affordable and accessible to the general public as cars that run on fuel.

Yes but if this is required there should be some sort of funding from the government to buy these new cars.

No because there should be gas powered cars too because some people prefer it more than hybrid or electric cars.

As much as electric vehicles are of really good benefit for society, they have lots of pontential complications

No the government should get rid of all electric cars because the lithium mines cause massive holes in the earth while the oil pumps are a small hole

Yes but only after every State supports and makes electric charging or hybrid fuel more widely available.

though gas may harm the planet i believe both gas and electric are good but i prefer gas cars rather than electric because a satellite may connect to an electric car and with the self driving thing u can activate in a tesla thats practically letting a robot control ur whereabouts

We burn fossile fuels to make electricity, so perhaps we can do this when we find a cleaner source of energy.

no, the government shouldnt require the electric cars, the and government should remove electric cars

Well if there reliable and not like a giant toy that need to charge 3 hour to drive have the distance

Although electric is efficient it would make our trash dumps bigger because of the batteries. And most people can't afford these cars. Mostly not a good idea but can be adjusted so it is.

Until better sufficient research is produced to improve the efficiency and natural conservation of materials when producing these forms of cars are more viable to be safely produced, and last.

No, but they should provide incentives for companies to continue designing engines that have minimal emissions and/or renewable energy sources.

This is a process. We must invest in infrastructure overhauls to make electric vehicles the standard.

Not “All” but encourage to bring more Hybrid and EV cars and perhaps provide incentives for those who have or want to buy them.

Only if the government is willing to financially assist those who are unable to afford the luxuries of electric or hybrid cars.

Yes, but the gradual replacement shouldn’t cost too much for individuals who already own and rely on diesel-fueled cars

No it’s not realistic to outlaw vehicles that are not electric. But incentivizing with tax breaks etc would be nice.

If technology for cars improve, then it should be optional to people who want to move to electrical.

this should only happen if the government allows citizens to trade in the current car for their new eletric one. that way it is affordable for all.

They shouldn't require, but slowly change out cars that cause a lot of carbon emissions to be more environmentally better which do not impact the buyer.

To be honest, generating electricity might cause emissions as well when you consider where you get the electricity from.

Some kind of compromise could be made with a deadline still set but a way to help those who need cars but couldn't necessarily afford an electric or hybrid car.

I believe we should come up with a more efficient way to drive that is environmentally friendly and cost friendly.

With electric vehicles unstable, we should research the dangers versus the benefits of electric vehicles

Yes, require a percentage- not all. But use incentives to encourage the switch, especially with personal vehicles

I don’t think it should be a requirement. More of something that is highly encouraged through incentives

No, unless we get more charging facilities, safer electric cars, and cleaner energy to charge the cars, as-well as cleaner batteries.

Increase the usage and implementation of eco-friendly public transit systems, while allowing more eco-friendly cars.

They should encourage it, not force it. But first, they should put more car chargers in more areas if they are considering it at all.

I believe that car manufacturers should be able to make their own decisions on the product they are selling. If the government gets in the way of that it could effect their sales. Hence, effect the economy

No. It is still too new of a concept and should have more research behind it before requiring anything.

No but there should be a more reasonable law that makes gas cars more expensive and electric cars and hybrids cheaper.

Yes, but the government and companies should set goals for finding new sources of renewable energies as well.

Yes, but only if they are willing to buy the vehicles for citizens since it is being required by law.

No, but it should require new recreational cars/trucks to be limited in emission no matter the size or type

Thr government should steer away from car dependency and bring America to the age of public transportation. It would help the climate and help Americans save money and time, while reducing var deaths and making streets safer.

While I would love to see more EVs on the road, we do not currently have the ability to support that kind of power drain as far as I am aware. We would need to create an electrical infrastructure that can support every household owning and charging an EV without just transferring the carbon emissions from the vehicle to the plant first.

Yes, but only after there are enough charging stations to meet the demand of hybrid/electric car users

maybe most cars should be electric so our earth doesn't become a polluted dump but some trucks shouldn't

No, but we should make efforts to make electric/hybrid cars more available in the future i.e. more affordable cars & more charging stations.

No, we do not have the infrastructure for electric vehicles for all drivers. The cost of mining is outrageous, the batteries are a biohazard and they create the same damage to our world. Leave gas alone and keep producing them. First amendment, allowing the FREE people to make decisions for themselves, not forcing an electric or hybrid. PS. Florida and hurricanes do not mix with electric vehicles for travel in evacuations or salt water from flood waters.

Yes, but only if it aligns with a similar plan for the entire US power grid to be powered by green energy.

If the government were to do that, than manufactures should be forced to lower prices of their cars.

I think the government should give them a certain date but they should also give them a long enough time period that people can acquire the money and resources they need in order to stabilize the car.

yes, as long as there the battery and equipment disposal are able to be disposed and won’t cause any more harm.

Yes, but require car insurance companies or the government to give out money to people so they could be able to pay for a new car

Shouldn’t be required, but electric vehicles should be priced significantly lower as an incentive to purchase.

No, but inventive the usage of more fuel efficient vehicles and provide public funding for electric public transportation

I feel like it would be better for the environment, however, some people cannot afford electric or hybrid vehicles, so it shouldn't be enforced or required. However, it should be encouraged and maybe they should lower prices to encourage more people to switch.

No, but if you want a electric car you can have one but if you want a gas powered car then that is ok.

Only mandate hybrid by a certain date as there are other mediums of energy to discover other than electric.

no, as we've just seen in recent floods by hirrucanes, the electric cars are not only unable to drive through flooded roadways, but also become a fire hazards. I believe we are getting closer to more sustainable and environmentally friendly option but we are not there yet.

No, but they should incentivize the purchase of electric and hybrid cars so people are more inclined to use them instead of feeling forced to do so.

No, but the ownership of hybrid and electric cars should be promoted more and benefits should be used for owning them

Over a series of years, slowly, with jobs transferring from the oil sector to electric. Also assuming technology advances to cover all types of vehicles

I believe that they should stop producing cars that aren’t eco friendly however shouldn’t ban it for people who already own said cars

It shouldn't be at the expense of low income individuals, if they can find someway to make these cars as affordable as gas cars then i will support it, if they cannot then i am strongly against it

They should slowly begin to enforce this as time goes on and the technology becomes more affordable for the average working man.

No, but provide more infrastructure for those who buy hybrid/electric cars and benefits for those who keep their hybrid/electric cars for a long time (reducing waste).

yes, but if electric or hybrid cars are proven to be less efficient than another technology change the requirement
