I said that most folks that are working and/or living in an apartment might not be able to purchase an EV. That is why we will continue with the fossil fuel autos for a very long time. We won't be able to discontinue building ICE vehicles, just because a bunch of tree huggers think that it will save the planet. I can't understand why our country has become such a bunch of non-compromising, blankety, blank thick skull problem children. We can have both, and it will not destroy the world. Falsely raising the price of gasoline in hopes of making folks purchase EVs or attempting to ban ICE vehicles in ten years is not going to endear the folks to the idea of moving to a more expensive means of transportation. When an EV cost more than a mortgage for some folks or rent, how is that going to help the lower earners? Do we now disregard all but the wealthy and say "tough cookies" get a better job?

Okay, I gotta call you on that one. WHO is calling for ICE cars to be banned in 10 years?
And you are stuck saying what EVs cost today most people can not afford. That is a GOOD thing. There are 300 million ICE vehicles in America alone. Tesla is making 1 million cars per year (this year) and hopes to make 2Million next year, that means we could replace all those in ONLY 150 years.
So, please, no one is suggesting we can replace 300 million cars in 10 years. Even with all the other manufactures jumping on board, most are years from production, and certainly can not phase out ICE cars in less than a decade and that would be an amazingly fast product change over.
So, once again, other than some Youtube video, WHO in power to do so, is suggesting we ban ICE cars in 10 years.
