I don't understand why anyone would want to impede scientific progress.
Oh, wait. The naysayers are Republicans. Nevermind.

Yea, yea, sure it isn't... The Greentards have been saying that since the 70's and we have more known and untapped oil resources today than we did then. Oil is also a renewable resource. You can make it from algae for example. More is being formed daily, even if it takes nature thousands of years to finish the product. The bottom of our oceans are littered with gigatons of frozen methane that will eventually turn into oil.

The radicals are the Leftist Greentards, and their scientific illiterate supporters who don't know shit about energy, energy production, and believe insanities like all pollution standards should be zero.

Hmm.. Do you think all the money from gasoline sales goes to taxes?
An EV costs on average $0.04 per mile for the electricity. Currently an ICE vehicle that gets 30mpg will cost about $0.13. Adding in the cost of the use tax for the EV adds about $.011 per mile
So you pay a 20% premium on the car and then get an annual savings of $900.
Buying a Nissan Leaf vs a Honda Fit
Leaf - $27,000 - $7,500 tax credit - $19,500
Fit - $16,000
Difference of $3,500
Annual fuel costs for 10,000 miles
Leaf - $400
Fit - $1300
Leaf saves $900 per year in fuel
Annual oil change/air filter savings
Leaf - $0
Fit - $150
Leaf saves by needing no oil changes.
By year four the Leaf has cost you less than buying the Fit. Pretty simple math for anyone that keeps their car for the average 6 years.

So now the Leaf is cheaper than a Fit if you keep your car for over 8 years since you save $1050 a year in fuel and oil, a $600 brake job and $1800 for spark plugs and other fluids needed for the 30K, 60K and 90K maintenance.
The math is pretty easy for someone willing to do it. (Assumes all other maintenance is the same but one extra brake job because the fit has regenerative braking.)
Leaf - $27000
Fit - $16000 + (8 x 1050) + 600 + 1800 = $26800
