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.
@B5KV2PP2wks2W
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.
@B5JNT7P3wks3W
No, instead funding should be focused on shifting transport away from cars and towards collective public transport
@B5BZ5MB4wks4W
Only when more research has been conducted and we can prove that they are more reliable than they are now.
@B55SVHC1mo1MO
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.
@B546ZMQ1mo1MO
Electric vehicles will be a thing of the past soon. Hyde is the way forward and the government need to help with the cost of swapping
@B46Y77X2mos2MO
The vechicles are so expensive & unattainable for many people due to the cost and the inability to charge the car
