Don’t we already have EV subsidies? Are those going away or something?
The subsides are for getting an industry off the ground before it becomes competitive against traditional technology. EVs aren’t there yet because of inherent limitations to how our metropolitan areas are organized. Hybrids seem to be the best bet, until there’s a high voltage (1kv?) charger that doesn’t destroy the battery. Otherwise, society should investigate alternative fuel distribution.
