The EPA has already chimed in on this:

Myth #2: Electric vehicles are worse for the climate than gasoline cars because of battery manufacturing.

FACT: The greenhouse gas emissions associated with an electric vehicle over its lifetime are typically lower than those from an average gasoline-powered vehicle, even when accounting for manufacturing.

It would be nice for tolls to cover the road costs by people who use them. It would be nice for government to use money wisely. We can see that will never happen. Look at the walkway on 44. How much did that cost? Who is going to use that?

Isn’t it the same?

There’s more to the story than what you’re telling us. Most people can’t afford a EV. Our present president said when EV’s are mandatory in 2030 they’ll cost about $40,000. More than the same car today. Seriously you think EV’s are cheaper to maintain, guess you haven’t bought a lithium battery yet. I don’t disagree with everything you said but you’re not telling the working stiffs the whole story. So I’ll let it go & we’ll find out later in the future!

He never said that. His goal is for 1/2 of new cars sold to be an EV, a plug-in hybrid, or a fuel cell vehicle by 2030.

I don't feel thus will ever make a difference. EV is very spendy for only a few. Climate control will probable fall apart soon

[Marsha11]

There presently is a system making sure gas availability is going away because the price is on the way up. Why?? Guessing someone wants no gas no more

[markusmom]

I have a hybrid car I bought in 2018. In Utah I have to pay an additional tax because I don't use enough gas. I can pay a lump sum or write my mileage from the year before and the current year to show my miles per year and pay according to that. Electric vehicles charged a higher rate because they use no gas, but it's the same, a lump sum or by mileage.

Since when did not having a system in place that works keep the government from rolling something out anyway?
