The US is not ready to go all Electric, as there is no infrastructure set up to handle re-charging Electric Cars quite yet.

Congress is what is holding that up as Congress is divided by those who want to obstruct change to protect the Oil Industry, and those who are trying to move us into the future so we won't be left behind by the rest of the world.

I know this- American Car manufactures are on the side of moving us into the future and have re-tooled themselves and are fully committed towards leading the world in manufacturing the worlds greatest electric automobiles.

The future is coming and not even the Oil Industry and all of their Lobbyists that own the current politicians won't be able to hold it off much longer.

In general well off people drive Teslas. They should be paying their fair share of the cost to maintain roads just like everyone else. Tax them!

[evince]

roads dont maintain themselves.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha


So you are pro taxes now?


You only like taxes that you don’t have to pay

taxes are not the problem, wasteful spending of them is.

taxes are not the problem, wasteful spending of them is.

So you think Louisiana's biggest problem is too much wasteful spending on roads and education? Have you been to Louisiana?

Iin their case its more like wasteful spending on social programs with money budgeted for flood control maintenance. Remember that from Katrina

Oh, so, it's not going to happen tomorrow? You're sounding like a Republican with this rational timetable of yours!

Unlike with an ICE, where you must find a gasoline station, with an EV, you just need to find an outlet.

No, not a Republican!

[T. A. Gardner]

They were right then, and right now

[T. A. Gardner]

No, not a Republican!

Hardly your most pressing problem now is it?

The state government of Louisiana says EV's and hybrids aren't paying their fair share of road use taxes mostly paid by gasoline sales. The legislature there just passed a bill that will impose a tax of $110 annually on an EV and $60 on a hybrid for road use. So, on top of paying more for your car, you get no tax break from not using gasoline...

Actually, a poll cat tax should judicially fired up on the un-American republican party of sedition, crimes against humanity and that goes for their shady and seditious blue dogs too.

Difference. Your analogy is wrong and amounts to nothing but a thought terminating cliche. There is ZERO technological reason we need to go to battery cars. The ONLY reason they are being pushed is political environmentalism, almost entirely from the Left. That's it. There is no inherent advantage in a EV over a ICE car. If anything, environmentalism aside, EV's are at a disadvantage to ICE vehicles in most respects.

So, for what reason(s) should we adopt EV's other than because of the demands of radical environmentalists?

Lol. Gasoline isn't going to last forever. And yes, global warming is real. The only radicals are the right-wingers who can't even walk outside without accusing their own shadow of being fake news.
