    Forcing everyone to EVs is dumb, overly expensive, and not going to happen in the next 10 years.

    PHEV is a far better solution for most and you can actually get the materials you need

      Nobody’s forcing anyone to buy a new car. Just stay with having no car. They are just making it so you cannot buy pollution shit boxes. First world countries are doing this, the US should try to be like them.

        Have you been to America? There literally isn’t enough time in the day to live without a car. You’ll be walking two hours to work and two hours back.

          The fuck? I live in an extremely car dependant area, a combination of my bicycle, mass transit, and sometimes my motorcycle works fine. I get everywhere, on time.

            If you can get around fine on a bicycle and mass transit, then you don’t live in a “car dependent” area by definition.

              I’d agree, but the mass transit is… Half implemented, at best out here. How many miles/km are you talking about, is a better question.
