I think everyone should purchase what works for them. Also, I think that the government should not pick and choose the winners in business.
However, to add one small point on EV’s side... I think we are seeing that having no electricity is a problem for both types of vehicles. Gas pumps work on electricity also.
I’ll never get an EV, but no option is perfect.

Gas pumps no longer have a manual back-up pump inside the case?

Exactly.....Gas pumps need electricity as done EV’s. I just leased an EV because it was basically free to me if gas stayed around 3.50/gallon. I’m sure the EV’s enjoyed driving past the gas stations and their 4 hour lines, etc. Sure, they need to charge up, but I think I’d rather try and find a socket than a gallon of gas in NY right now....this is just trying to dump on the EV’s. I’m sure I’m the only conservative driving a Nissan Leaf in the country...But it is, what it is....

I live in Florida, and know a few people who live in what we call "golf cart community's". I know of a resident who had a solar roof installed on his cart for around $600. He drives it all around the park, to the pool, community center, and the shopping center next to the community. He has yet to charge his golf cart conventionally (plug in) for 8 months.. It is working for him. I should also include that this is a large development, and at his age, walking to these various destinations would not be good! This gets him out and is good for his well being. Solar is great, for some uses, and depends where you are located. I would like to see the technology advance, with private investment!
