That all said I would love to get a plug-in hybrid or EV. Perhaps the Hyundai plug-in midsize Tucson. Or the EV Ford Mach-E. Those would be my current choices.
But if I put my Financial Advisor hat on, they would say “are you stupid or something’???
I’m not stupid.

Since pollution control systems were mentioned. (Actually, my 1st thought is pollution is a product of excess population. In the 1950s there was no concern about pollution, pollution controls on automobiles, or even Global Warming because the US had about 150 million people..) My next thought was about all the ICE golf carts here in TV Land - and about how clean burning are those vehicles? I would bet that every one of the ICE golf carts they are polluting about as much as 5 newer cars or trucks. And I KNOW THIS.........because I can SMELL them as they go by on a residential street. Sit out and read a book within 15 ft of a residential street and just observe the smell of gasoline after a golf car goes past.
If I were making rules for TV Land, I would give a YEARLY cash bonus of $600 for every residential home that has an Electric golf car and $200 for every E-bike.
