My 2016 Kia Soul EV with 39k miles just had the battery replaced. If ICE vehicles were just as reliable, we wouldn't need a law to ban them.

You won’t need to. No one will want to buy an ice in 10 years- meaning no resale value either

Actually, both ICE and EV vehicles should exist. Let the free market decide what they want. Too many people might just want plug-in hybrids.

We love our hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Right now there are only stations in California and Japan but it fills up as quickly as regular gas. The Honda Clarity goes somewhere between 250-300 miles on a fill up. Companies like Budweiser are buying hydrogen fleets for long distance hauling. The only drawback is when the hydrogen supply is inconsistent. We just need more suppliers. This is our fourth year driving the car. I extended the lease.

In order for me to give up my Prius, the country would need charging stations at every “fuel” station and U.S. highway stops

Don't bother. Once EVs are superior for a job people will buy them. The Tesla Model 3 outsold the 3-series, A4, C-class, IS and ES the past two years.

With the way EV development is going, it'll be an easy sell for 90% of buyers at the end of the decade, and just let the other 10% move over when specialty vehicles that meet their wants and needs come out.

Solid state batteries with ultra quick charging, extreme long distance, all weather reliability and longevity before ICE vehicles are viably replaced. Hybrids are best choice for road trips in 2021 even over Tesla currently - why? Get too far from a highway and there is the risk of not finding a charger. Too few BEV chargers and too many malfunctioning chargers mean ICE will be here for at least a decade.

If the government is willing to get vehicles for all citizens with a very competitive discount, why not. However, that's going to be another, separate stimulus bill.

probably won’t need to. Manufacturers are moving away from ice vehicles anyway. There’ll be only a few being built/sold by 2030 and those on the road will eventually fade away

Never. Let the market work it out.

Everyone could just use horses and buggy or a bicycle. Phase gasoline out now

I assume that's Joe Biden's own Corvette; the one he did wheelies with when he had Jay Lenno as a passenger. If the US bans sales of gas powered cars today, the value of true collectors' cars like this one will skyrocket. Do it Joe, just do it!

If a person wanted to buy an ICE vehicle if there was an EV with the same features, only a fool would stick with the ICE vehicle. The EV is so much cheaper to own and maintain. Therein lies the issue, you need a charging infrastructure to handle the large number of vehicles on the road and we need more options. There isn't an EV option that meets my daily driver or my diesel truck to pull my camper. They are getting close but not quite there yet. I think it will be about 20 years before there is an EV option for every niche.

Never, the market is already making the transition. GM just did a rebrand around it and they haven't done a rebrand in over 30 years.

Government ruins everything.

The manufacturers have already made and announced that decision.

Never. I agree that everyone should buy electric vehicles. But no body of government should ever focus on deciding what the people can choose, but instead ensuring your right to

They shouldn’t ban it, they should sell more ev and hybrids and build a better infrastructure to support it

Prohibitions generally don't work. Remember the push back on light bulbs. Imagine the push back on this. It would be political suicide.

Will never trade up my V8 350 for a eletic motor no way in hell

After I’m dead!

There isn't an electric vehicle to replace my dad's Durango that can pull a camper across the country.

Fun Fact Presidents and former presidents are not allowed to drive on public roads.

ASAP!

When Trump is convicted of inciting violence

Yesterday.

Biden, Harris, WARREN, BOOKER, Bloomberg, Amy etc. Own Gasoline cars, they get paid more and still Gasoline that is hypocrites

Never

How about never?

2030

Phev should have enough charge for daily commute - work, store, kids to school. 50km minimum? 100km? 50mile or 100mile minimum?
And there should be a standard.

To some it might be a fair question. But come on GCR! Really? You of all people, should realize that these half-hearted attempts at electrification are meaningless.

Awesome! Keep them coming, all current ICE varieties need to be BEV asap.

An e-scooter has that kind of electric range.

All gas stations have nozzles the same size. Same should be true of all charging stations. Any vehicle should be able to charge at any charging point.

That’s a tall order. Let’s see you guys actually achieve that claim

Added expense for extremely little or no gain.
