> electric cars are a dog and for shit. Specifically the batteries, they're hyper-expensive, the range is for crap, and they need to be replaced every X years. They are expensive, that's true, but the range is such a non-issue for anyone who can charge at home and drives a reasonable commute (i.e. doesn't need to stop to charge on their way home every day), and battery degradation is less than 2% per year. > Let market forces decide, legislating what people ought to purchase is what is called a command and control economy and evidence shows that's bad Equating regulation with communism is really tired rhetoric.
