Well, different people have different beliefs in the sincerity of the Federal Government's motives, decisions, and actions. I tend to believe that people get the government that they deserve. Right now the US government is using tax benefits to increase the production and sales of Electric Vehicles. It would be nice if we knew of a survey of what Americans thought of that. What % are satisfied at 8% of new car sales - when Europe is almost 3 times greater. Maybe 60 or 70% on such a survey would say that we NEED to CATCH UP to the Europeans.
.......From my perspective, the US government is doing the RIGHT thing as far as EV stimulation. And I would be happy if they tripled their effort. And I would like to see a survey done as to what America wants for this EV situation.
