Electric vehicles have no truly proved to be the better alternative to gas vehicles. They are not reliable for long travel and are not any better for the environment. If someone thinks an electric car is good for the environment, that lithium battery says otherwise. Spending money on more charging stations would be a waste and could go towards other resources that matter

More science is to be done on the topic. Also either way the earth is being destroyed and action needs to be done starting sonehwerre
@9GCTVQW7mos7MO
I agree that resources could be way better spent on public transportation and that lithium batteries are not environmentally friendly, but it's still better than a mobile metal box directly pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.

Electric vehicles will not do enough to reduce our emissions. If we are serious about reducing emissions, we need to drastically increase the effectiveness of our public transportation systems, which drastically more efficiently transport great numbers of people with fewer resources required.

There is not enough lithium in the entire world to transition all the cars in America to ev's. It would be a massive infrastructure project that would only serve as a show to appease a vocal section of the population. The money would be far better spent investing in other more sustainable green energy research projects. Beyond that, even if our entire transportation infrastructure turned electric it would only be a band aid if we failed to address fossil fuel power generation. Electric vehicles are still almost exclusively powered by coal and gas burning power plants.

Electric vehicles should not be made main stream and we should look into recycling the carbon in the air
@9GCJK7Y7mos7MO
The power grid as it is right now wouldn't be able to handle the amount of electricity that many cars would need.

We live in a country that was seduced into car dependency by oil/automotive companies and we now have our most promising opportunity since the transcontinental railroad to reinvest in public transportation, with a good amount of public support behind it at the present. Why would we divert funds into the next frontier of car dependency (after all, electric cars are still wildly inefficient and their "sustainability" is debatable) when we could be connecting entire regions of our country with high-speed rail or mobilizing our working class with expanded rapid/neighborhood transit options in our great cities?
