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.
@9NL4FTV1yr1Y
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.
@B5SPL5W2wks2W
Don’t set a date, make it easier car manufacturers in local areas to receive finance for new green technology
@B5RSL6R2wks2W
Absolutely not! We should encourage it by making them more popular not by enforcing an authoritarian ban
@B5KV2PP1mo1MO
No, electric vehicles are not the future of travel. They are expensive and more damaging to the environment than petroleum. Processes like hydrogen fuel cells should be adventured further as the potential is their for clean energy.
@B5JNT7P1mo1MO
No, instead funding should be focused on shifting transport away from cars and towards collective public transport
@B5BZ5MB2mos2MO
Only when more research has been conducted and we can prove that they are more reliable than they are now.
@B55SVHC2mos2MO
I don't feel that electric cars are the answer and therefore we should continue looking for alternatives and not limit peoples choices in the meantime as there are limitations to battery life etc. which will mean that second hand and affordable cars are less available to people who can't afford to buy new ones.
