Battery powered cars. Yes, they have been around for over a hundred years. Don't you think that if they were so great that they would be more popular by now? I suppose "some" folks believe that the oil industry conspiracy would be that great amounts of money is being used to subdue electric car exploration?
Maybe electric power will replace ICE but it's rather stupid to ban ICE before electric power is a plausible replacement. And that is exactly what is being attempted, banning a reasonable mode of transportation to be replaced by inadequate pie in the sky ideas. Replacing the horse pulling a wagon with a goat is not considered improving ones ability to travel. All we are doing right now is attempting to take away the low income populations' ability to travel to their places of employment, shopping and medical appointments. Electric vehicles are out of the low income populations' grasp.

Prezactly!
