The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

    I don’t hate on EVs, I think they’re great. The applications they have are for city drivers not for rural and long haul people or even people who live in apartments. They’re getting there but right now isnt the time to try and push everyone to EVs forcefully.

      Fair, I do think however, more people could use them but are falling for the propaganda. Apartment living could be an issue, especially if you can’t charge it at your workplace. Almost anyone with a house though, could get one and likely benefit from it.

        O absolutely, and I’m sure they’ll continue to get better, but telling people who can’t afford them or can’t use them because of the lack of infrastructure where they live doesn’t help drive the conversation in any meaningful way. Which unfortunately you can see from some of the replies towards me have been.
