Simply because the choice as to whether I will be forced to buy one is being made elsewhere. It happens more than you know. Hundreds of items are mandated to address a problem in a different part of the country. We don't have a water supply issue here however, I'm forced to buy products that conserve water. I have to pay for an airbag in my car whether I want it or not. I can't buy incandescent light bulbs. If these products are truly better why not let the market decide, as it did when people switched from cassettes to CDs? If an EV is truly better let the market decide. I believe it's only a matter of time before ICE's are outlawed here, like what is happening in other countries. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I have a disdain for people who are designing the future based on how things are in California. I live in central Ohio. The cost of living here is definitely less expensive. But it's not a linear curve. Real Estate is roughly 10 times more expensive in San Francisco than here. I don't think people make 10 times as much money for the same work as here, but I understand they do make more. We already know that Bill and his ilk think the rest of the country is uneducated hilljacks. The future being planned on the West Coast won't fit well in this part of the country. The money isn't here. Fortunately in roughly 10-20 years I won't have to be concerned. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Sitting in traffic with the AC on doesn't take the battery? I didn't know the perpetual motion AC system had been invented. And I'm not the one who suggested someone buy a vehicle worth less than the cost of replacing it's mode of propulsion. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

You're right. Let the poor bastards be stuck with used up toys. 10 miles in Chicago might take and hour and a half. In the summer, with the AC on...willing to bet you don't make it round trip without stopping to charge somewhere. But what do you care? You're not driving someone else's used up toy. Until the makers figure out how to make new EV's at the same price as their gas burning counterparts...you know the rest. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1111264_new-life-for-old-nissan-leaf-electric-car-battery-replacement-and-what-it-took Great idea Bill. Let's have someone who is already struggling buy a 2011 Nissan leaf and have to spend $6500 to replace the batteries. Iwonder if they could just include the replacement costs in their car loan Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

That I would maybe agree with. There are plenty of other EV's and hybrids emerging. Average income in the US is $59,000.00. If you take out the over-inflated coastal wages I'm sure it's even less. At a tax rate of 30% that works out to just under $800 per week. A $30K auto loan works out to ~$500 per month. Not something the average person can do or something the banks would let them do without gold plated credit. Sorry...the EV market in general in still for the upper crust. FUnny how many here don't realize how much better they have it than your average Joe. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I think that we are getting there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electric_cars_currently_available https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityCar Jerry Baumchen My wife and I recently bought a Chevy Bolt EV. It has plenty of range for her commute plus any errands we have to run in the evening and we only need to charge it every few days. I still have my Subaru that we use on longer trips where the Bolt doesn't have the range or we won't have easy access to charging stations. With just the most brief check it appears that EV versions of some cars run $8-10k more than the gas burning identical model. If gas is $3 per gallon you can buy 2,667 gallons of gas before you get to a break even. If they get 30 mpg that's 80,000 miles before the investment shows any return. Interesting to see no regret over the Tesla $35k Model 3's rolling off the production line at $80K. EV's are still the toys of the upper class and not anywhere near something that could be purchased by the average person here. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
